Perhaps more broadly documentation-wise, it might be good to add a terminology list. For example, that could clarify the difference and relation between dimensions, labels, indices, coordinates, etc.. There are dimensions without coordinates, dimensions that are labelled or unlabelled, there are coordinates that are indices, coordinates that are not indices. I'm still figuring out how all of those relate to each other and how I use them.

Agreed, this is definitely worth doing. I also made a diagram recently to summarize the xarray data model that I'd like to put in the docs:

(feedback on the diagram is very welcome if anyone has suggestions!)
