Yes. What I meant with my yesterday's late night answer is that keeping the coordinates around could be most useful when using irregular coordinates...","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,193294729

Coordinates sometimes need to be defined by paired coords too:

```python
import xarray as xr
import numpy as np
lon, lat = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(-20, 20, 5), np.linspace(0, 30, 4))
da = xr.DataArray(np.arange(20).reshape(4, 5), dims=['y', 'x'],
                  coords = {'lat': (('y', 'x'), lat),
                            'lon': (('y', 'x'), lon)})
da.isel(x=2)['lat']
<xarray.DataArray 'lat' (y: 4)>
array([  0.,  10.,  20.,  30.])
Coordinates:
    lon      (y) float64 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
    lat      (y) float64 0.0 10.0 20.0 30.0
  * y        (y) int64 0 1 2 3
    x        int64 2
