First, one clarification: I was wrongly assuming that the proposed conversion 
of size 1 arrays  to scalars in nexusformat applied to datasets, not 
attributes. It was under that (wrong) premise that I qualified nexusformat as a 
"non-trivial" wrapper.

Now that I stand corrected, I would be comfortable with an interpretation such 
as Armando's :

So, my question is: could the above be considered the "official" consensus at 
the NIAC?

(if so, I think it would be nice to state it more explicitly somewhere in the 
manual)
