Hi Doug,

I had a quick look to this very useful spreadsheet and it would be nice 
  to have also a column 'Example value'.

Regarding the UCDs, I would suggest:

UTypes             UCD

Axis.Name          meta.id

Axis.Ucd           meta.ucd;[pos|spect|time]

Axis.Unit          meta.unit;[pos|spect|time]

StatError          stat.error;em (instead of em;stat.error since
                    stat.error is a primary word and em a secondary one)

                    Same thing for error on phot.flux, time and pos.eq


SysError           stat.error.sys;em (same as above)

SpatialLocation    pos.eq is only a secondary word (though pos.eq.ra
                    and pos.eq.dec could be primary or secondary)

Access.Format      meta.code.mime

Spectrum.Length    meta.number;spect

Target.Description meta.note;src


Hope it helps a bit.

Cheers,
Nausicaa
