Also, if people started quoting CF Standard names in peer-reveiwed papers, 
there may be increasing pressure to give the standard a persistent identifier, 
such as an DoI http://www.doi.org/. 

WMO's standard lists were, and still are, published in physical manuals that 
can be persistently referenced. WMO is trying to move to a digital equivalent, 
such as registered and queriable code lists, taxonomies, etc, but progress will 
be slow.

I agree with John ... our work toward standards is unlikely to be 
recognized beyond those relying on it.  that doesn't mean it's not 
important.  It does mean it's sometimes difficult to get funding.
