I think what you actually want would be 
```python
In [16]: ds = xr.Dataset({'data': ('x', [1, 2]), 
    ...:                  'x': ('x', [1, 2]) 
    ...:                 }, coords={'x_bnds': (('x', 'bnds'), [[0.5, 1.5], [1.5,
    ...:  2.5]])}) 
    ...: ds['x'].attrs['bounds'] = 'x_bnds' 
    ...: ds = ds.expand_dims({'time': [0]})                                     

In [17]: ds                                                                     
Out[17]: 
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (bnds: 2, time: 1, x: 2)
Coordinates:
  * time     (time) int64 0
  * x        (x) int64 1 2
    x_bnds   (x, bnds) float64 0.5 1.5 1.5 2.5
Dimensions without coordinates: bnds
Data variables:
    data     (time, x) int64 1 2
```
where `x_bnds` would be a coordinate rather than a data variable.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,547373923
