New description:
The CF Standardised Region List http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-
names/docs/standardized-region-names.html is currently only available as a
HTML page. Ideally, it should be available as a machine readable document,
so that the CF checker and other software can access the names, as
discussed, for instance, in #153.
This, with #153, would bring the number of CF vocabulary documents to 4:
* CF Standard Names
* CF Area Types
* CF Standardised Regions
* CF Rules Related to Standard Names (under discussion: #153)
There should be some common approach to structuring these documents, based
on the establised practise with the CF Standard Names (an XML reference
document, exported to SKOS). There is also an interest in having JSON
versions, which are easier to import into python.
