I didn't see anything in the area_types discussion originally about
this kind of 'domain-specific' content, which I was thinking about in
the marine context.
In marine domains anyway, there are maybe 6 common classification
schemes for habitat (many more uncommon ones). Note I do not mean
individual terms; I mean schemes. In agriculture I can't help but
think there are many more.
Is this a slippery slope?
