Yes, I think this is a task that needs to be done. These two lists don't

It occurs to me that we could document the possible vertical coordinates,
ie set up a controlled vocabulary. The WMO has already done so in the GRIB2 format:

or we could refer to these if deemed complete enough.
This could be an appendix that might would be useful to storing any type of
data in CF.
