citing IVOA standards

[Colin Aspin]

HI Igor,

I've often referred to Starlink User Notes in refereed papers, for  
example,

Shortridge et al. (2002)

with the reference

\bibitem[Shortridge et al.(2002)]{} Shortridge, K., et al. 2002,  
FIGARO: A General Data Reduction System, Version 5.6-1 (Starlink User  
Note 86) (Hilo: JAC)

and not had troubles with the referees.
