Jonathan, Kevin,

    I don't think that it is necessary to further qualify "burned_area". If you do an internet search for this term you always come up with hits related to "wildfire" which would suggest that there is little ambiguity in this term. I propose to add the vegetation fire relationship in the definition of the term but keep the term short and concise. Should there ever be a conflict we can still create an alias or re-define. (Just imagine you start arguing about "air_temperature": is this the temperature of air inside a box or a house? ...)

Cheers,

Martin
