CPLHIST files assign standard_name to variables, but it isn't a CF-Convention standard name -- should it do that? #710

CPLHIST files add the standard_name attribute to each output variable. But, it's the same name as the variable name, and hence is redundant. But, the naming convention follows the CMEPS naming standard -- but not the CF-Convention standard_name. So checking for compliance with CF just has it report the names as an error.

I'm thinking it doesn't serve enough of a purpose and should just be removed. But, am I missing something?
