The following is the revised Standard Name specification - I'll put here as a 
placeholder at least:

biological_taxon_lsid

"Biological taxon" is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group 
of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical 
taxonomy. The quantity with standard name biological_taxon_lsid is the 
machine-readable identifier based on a taxon registration system using the 
syntax convention specified for the Life Science Identifier (LSID) - 
urn:lsid:<Authority>:<Namespace>:<ObjectID>[:<Version>]. This includes the 
reference classification in the <Authority> element and these are restricted by 
the LSID governance. It is strongly recommended in CF that the authority chosen 
is World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) for oceanographic data and 
Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) for freshwater and terrestrial 
data. See Section 6.1.2 of the CF convention (version 1.8 or later) for 
information about biological taxon auxiliary coordinate variable. This 
identifier is a narrower equivalent to the scientificNameID field in the Darwin 
Core Standard. 

biological_taxon_lsid should replace biological_taxon_identifer by alias and 
also as text in the descriptions of Standard Names:

colony_forming_unit_number_concentration_of_biological_taxon_in_sea_water
mass_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water
mole_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_carbon_in_sea_water
number_concentration_of_biological_taxon_in_sea_water
mass_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_chlorophyll_in_sea_water
mass_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_carbon_in_sea_water
mole_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water
