add open_datatree to xarray

 By pursuing these improvements in NumPy we hope to extend the benefits
 to the full scientific Python community, and avoid tight coupling
 between xarray and specific third-party libraries (e.g., for
-implementing untis). This will allow xarray to maintain its domain
+implementing units). This will allow xarray to maintain its domain
 agnostic strengths.
 
 We expect that we may eventually add some minimal interfaces in xarray
