  Hi,

  I'd be in favor of not changing the UCD Rec, and trying to follow the guidelines, therefore changing:

phot.fluxDens		phot.flux.density
phot.fluxDens.sb	phot.flux.density.sb
phys.energyDensity	phys.energy.density
phys.massToLight	phys.mass.light or phys.MLratio
phys.massYield		phys.mass.yield or phys.elementYield
and also as Pierre suggested:
phys.at			phys.atom (also changing words at levels below phys.at)

  The debate on the usefulness of the semicolon at the end of the UCD1+ was concluded by introducing this rule of "no word should be substring of another
at the same level".
  The main motivation was that users would be reluctant to add a ; at the end of every UCD. With the suggested rule, UCD curators have to be careful when defining new words (what we do now, but only once hopefully), but users life is made slightly easier.

Sebastien.
