[Aavso-photometry] FITS Keyword standard

Does the AAVSO endorse any particular dictionary of FITS keywords?
One of my long-term projects is to clean up the cacophony of FITS 
keywords that I've used in the various software packages I've written to 
manage my own observing sessions. I've discovered several FITS keyword 
dictionaries (see http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_dictionary.html), but 
none seems appropriate off the shelf for AAVSO observing programs. Is 
there anything approaching a "standard" in use by the VSO community?
