I want to teach xray in my fall physical oceanography class

@rabernat I hear you! I suffer from the same problem. But I think we should teach students how to defend themselves from bad practices and tools limitations. (We have both in there! Talking about non-standard calendar and accepted but non-recommended standards.)

3) Use xray without time support

Not ideal but that is probably the way to go. My guess is that you can load the data in xray, but you cannot get those dates into the pandas indexing machinery, right? That is not too bad since there are not many "dates operations" that you can do anyway. Most of the time we only need to translate the time information into a label for the figures. If that is the case you are OK with the tools we have now.
