FWIW for the filters, if it would be possible to use the numcodecs Codec API http://numcodecs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/abc.html then that could be beneficial beyond xarray, as any work you put into developing filters could then be used elsewhere (e.g., in zarr).

OK, I'm going to try to reboot this and finish it up in the form of an API that we'll be happy with going forward. I just discovered two more xarray backends over the past two days (in Unidata's Siphon and something @alexamici https://github.com/alexamici and colleagues are writing to reading GRIB files), so clearly the demand is here.

One additional change I'd like to make is try to rewrite the encoding/decoding functions for variables into a series of invertible coding filters that can potentially be chained together in a flexible way (this is somewhat inspired by zarr). This will allow different backends to mix/match filters as necessary, depending on their particular needs. I'll start on that in another PR.
