Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] standard name aliases

Does anyone know how many names are being carried along as aliases? Is
there a straightforward way to get a list of these terms?

I agree that we should make it clear that aliases are deprecated; this
should
be done in the docs, but also in the standard name table/search, which we
use for selecting names when we're adding new variables for oceansites.

Thanks - Nan
