Rich,
it must have been the netcdf-java package where I have seen these
standard-names. The description on the netcdf-java pages are outdated,
still using formula_terms a and b. I just checked the code, and that is
up to date working with the formula_term -array C(k).
It'll be good to have an official version. Thanks for picking this up again.
