[CF-metadata] Standardized region names

Reviving an old topic, the CF region names list is now out of date;
there are 7 or 8 names on the GCMD list that have not been added
to the CF document. They are:
Bay Of Bengal
Bay Of Fundy
Davis Straight
Georges Bank
Grand Banks
Gulf Of Maine
Gulf Of St Lawrence
And I'm not sure if you'd want to include it, but they list "South
China And Eastern Archipelagic Seas" too.

Should the CF list be updated in the next rev? I think GCMD is
planning to come out with an update (any day now) anyway, but
thought I'd mention this while I happen to be looking at it.
