If a standard_name is unique within one file, using a standard_name of
radiation_wavelength for this purpose would effectively prevent the
inclusion of other wavelength variables in the file.

I'm only raising this issue because I couldn't find any information
about the (non-)uniqueness of a standard_name within one file.  Can
anyone point me to where this is explicitly defined?
