The CF-Checker doesn't check whether the attributes of a grid mapping variable have the correct type.
Appendix F of the CF convention defines a bunch of grid mappings, and lists for each one the names of various attributes used to record the parameters for a given coordinate reference system. Table F.1 defines the names and meanings of the attributes used in different map projections, and also has a Type column that specifies whether they are string (S) or numeric (N).
The checker doesn't currently check the type of these attributes, but it should, because there's some software (e.g., METplus) that doesn't work correctly when these attributes have the wrong type.
