Dear Thomas

I think your arguments are persuasive for having a new standard_name of
sea_ice_classification. The definition could refer to WMO's list with a URL.
At a later point we might decide we could include the classification as new
area_types, as you say, but this seems like a good compromise for the moment.

Best wishes

Jonathan
