[CF-metadata] a different (but perhaps unoriginal) approach to standard name construction

Bryan,
> a) formalising the construction of standard names (this is not a big step, I believe Alison does a fair bit of this anyway,  but what folk probably don't realise is that having done that, a fair bit of the definition is formalised too). 
Are Alison's rules for formalising the construction of names 
available?   I was working purely from the current Guidelines, and, as I 
mentioned, I could get only some small proportion of the Standard Names 
to parse using a grammar based on them.  If there is a more extensive 
set of rules for constructting names, I'd be happy to try extending my 
grammar to include these.

Cheers,
Robert
