Is there any way to know for sure whether a coordinate has been automatically created? Or is the name the only clue?

I'm afraid the name is the only clue. My inclination would be not to do anything special here to "un-name" default coordinates, assuming Iris has a straightforward way to get rid of them. Dimensions like dim0 come up quickly in demo code but rarely in practice -- it's mostly a signal to the user that the should pick a meaningful name.

If this is the way to do things then does this comment need deleting?

Yes, that comment is out of date. I'm currently refactoring that code though, so let me take care care of it.

There's a separate argument about whether or not xarray should automatically convert cubes when passed into the xarray.DataArray constructor. We do this for pandas objects, but not any other labelled array types, currently.
