Dear Heiko

> x_wind_gust:

We already have a standard name of wind_speed_of_gust for the magnitude of
the gust velocity, and we x_wind and y_wind for components of wind. Would
be OK to have x_wind_of_gust and y_wind_of_gust for consistency?

> inland_water_area_fraction:

This would be fine. An alternative would be to define a new area_type of
inland_water and use the generic standard name of area_fraction with it.

Cheers

Jonathan
