Dear Roy,
This all looks good and the availability of the mappings is excellent.
It might be worth reminding everyone that more than one alias can map to
the same current name, e.g. the quantity we currently call
lagrangian_tendency_of_air_pressure has had two previous incarnations:
omega and vertical_air_velocity_expressed_as_tendency_of_pressure. Both
of these appear in your list of mappings.
Best wishes,
Alison
