I support this.

Minor request: If I need to "translate" these for DWC, please put the translation in the definition.

See https://github.com/ArctosDB/arctos/issues/2432#issuecomment-758818208 for context.

See also https://handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/How-to-Use-Code-Tables.html - (5) suggests we should just use the DWC values (but I'm not fond of eg "PreservedSpecimen" either).

Would you prefer the DwC term come first?

[dustymc]

Don't care, that's fine.
