Dear Bruce

> divergence_of_surface_downward_stress
> curl_of_surface_downward_stress

I don't think we have named those before and your proposals look like the
natural choice to me. If you could provide definitions (like those most
quantities have in the table) and canonical units that will constitute a
proposal. People may then comment and when it seems that the discussion is
over, if they are agreed, they'll be added to the list.

Best wishes and thanks

Jonathan
