Dear all I think that the mapping of standard names plus other CF metadata to other metadata conventions such as PCMDI and GRIB is an important task and a valuable resource. At the start of the CF convention, we put the correspondences into the standard name table to make standard names more attractive to potential users, since they were a new idea. This information was a kind of advertisement for the possible use of standard names.
However, 20 years later, standard names are now an established convention. I tend to agree with Lars that these sentence should be removed from the conventions. I also think that the `<grib>` and `<amip>` tags should be removed from the standard name table. I think that the equivalences should be kept in other files, which aren't part of the CF convention itself. They belong equally to the other conventions involved, and we have never made an effort to keep the up-to-date. However, we can keep tables of equivalence on the CF website, or make links from the CF website to other websites if someone else is maintaining them.
