I think this is fine. It seems clear, and limits the number of new standard 
names that will be needed.  

Of course, if people use these without specifying the vocabulary and/or some 
reference to a description of the tests, they lose a lot of their meaning. My 
aggregate_quality_flag might represent something totally different from the 
QARTOD aggregate, but I think that's the trade off for limiting the number of 
new terms needed. 

I'm not sure if we need to spell that out in the documentation somewhere, 
recommending some terms to help define the tests that were appliedm or if we 
can leave it to communities that are planning to make these standard names part 
of their specifications to do that.

Thanks for your patience getting this done.
