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.

It does mean it's sometimes difficult to get funding.
