Comment (by jonathan):

 Dear Roy

 Thanks for the text.

 * What is the proposed number of this new section?

 * In the email list, I suggest that `organisms_from_biological_taxon`
 would be a better phrase than `biological_taxon` in the standard names.

 * Since there is only one bullet, I think it would be better not to have a
 list. If another kind of identifier is allowed later, the text can be
 modified to introduce a list. At the moment, I would suggest

   The taxon auxiliary coordinate variables are string-valued. The plain-
 language name of the taxon may be contained in a variable with
 `standard_name` of `biological_taxon_name`. A Life Science Identifier may
 be contained in a variable with `standard_name` of
 `biological_taxon_lsid`. This is a URN ..."

 * I'm not clear whether one or both of these must be present. We should
 clarify this.

 * The example doesn't appear to be in correct CDL - at least, not the
 dialect we use in other examples, which have only one statement per line,
 and every line ends with `;`.

 Best wishes

 Jonathan
