Jonathan, Kevin,

    I don't think that it is necessary to further qualify "burned_area". If you 
do an internet search for this term you always come up with hits related to 
"wildfire" which would suggest that there is little ambiguity in this term. I 
propose to add the vegetation fire relationship in the definition of the term 
but keep the term short and concise. Should there ever be a conflict we can 
still create an alias or re-define. (Just imagine you start arguing about 
"air_temperature": is this the temperature of air inside a box or a house? ...)

Cheers,

Martin
