Thanks. area_fraction would be more consistent with existing standard_names -
there are quite a lot of them. It is also more informative, because it says
what it's a proportion of. A canonical unit of 1 is dimensionally consistent
with percent, which is a dimensionless unit permitted by udunits.

Best wishes
