[Esip-documentation] ACDD: add "locations" & "locations_vocabulary"?

[Anna Milan - NOAA Federal]

Hi John,
I think that's a good idea and this would be useful for NOAA data as well.
I believe that this cluster is looking at ways to manage/document
suggestions for improvements to ACDD 1.3...

Sean/Kaylin - Do we have a meeting today? If so, can we add this to the
agenda?

Anna
