@ngalbraith for the upcoming version of our 'IOOS Metadata Profile' that 
incorporates these new standard names into a quality flagging scheme for 
QARTOD, we decided to leverage the `references` attribute to suggest data 
providers link to external web pages or web-accessible files (e.g. JSON) that 
contain the parameters used in the tests.  The documentation for this scheme 
can be found 
[here](https://ioos.github.io/ioos-metadata/ioos-metadata-profile-v1-2.html#quality-controlqartod).

Our [QC library](https://github.com/ioos/ioos_qc) is written so that [JSON or 
YAML files](https://ioos.github.io/ioos_qc/usage.html#qcconfig) can be passed 
to the test functions to define the parameters, so there is a way for a direct 
integration there.  @jessicaaustin can correct me if I have any of this wrong.

@castelao I don't have an opposition to adding additional test names to this 
proposal, however we do have a strong preference that these names be added to 
the next release of the standard names table (v71) so we can move our project 
along to the implementation phase - we've been waiting on resolution here.

If the CF stewards are willing to accept additional tests and merge them 
alongside those we've proposed, then I don't see a problem.  It may make sense 
to open a new issue with the full list of additional test names, descriptions, 
etc, as in the tables above and refer back to this one (via 
cf-convention/cf-conventions#216 link) rather than include them in the same 
issue.  Just my 2 cents.  Thanks!
