I'll close this as I think riding on those coattails - with the addition of names and Datasets as containers - makes the most sense.

I think at the moment it would require a bit of work to validate normal xarray objects, is that right? (I'm looking at the `__init__`, which doesn't take the traditional args supplied to a `Variable` - tell me if I'm misreading it)

Separately - I didn't know about the project but looks awesome. Do we have a list of projects that integrate xarray? Let's start one somewhere if not @pydata/xarray ?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,295959111

Right! 🤦‍♂️

Interesting, thanks.

Do you think this fits into a 'function which validates', rather than a Mypy-like type annotation? I think ideally there would be a representation of the schema that could work with both, so maybe this isn't the important question atm.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,295959111
