Right now, we use ds.attrs but the keyword argument is still attributes. We should resolve this inconsistency.

We also use dimensions and coordinates instead of the natural abbreviations dims and coords (although dims is used in the Variable constructor). Should we switch to the abbreviated versions for consistency with attrs?

Note that I switched to attrs in part because of its use in other packages (h5py, pytables and blz). There is not as clear precedent for what to call dimensions and coordinates.
