Dear all,
I think what Roy proposes is o.k., but I would worry if we allowed the
use of "-" (hyphen) in standard_name.? I think that could be a mistake,
even though I can't come up with a strong argument. (perhaps something
about parsing being more difficult?? or reserving hyphens for compound
construction of future standard names??)
cheers,
Karl
