Need for short alphabetical id to map common band names

Common band names are a very interesting sensor-agnostic way to refer to band names and hopefully will become a standard in the eo community.
To further encourage the use of these common names, short alphabetical id for each common name could be relevant. Here's a suggested mapping:
| Common Name | Common Name Id | Band Range (μm) | Landsat 5/7 | Landsat 8 | Sentinel 2 | MODIS | NAIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| coastal | Co | 0.40 - 0.45 | 1 | 1 | |||
| blue | B | 0.45 - 0.50 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| green | G | 0.50 - 0.60 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
| red | R | 0.60 - 0.70 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| yellow | Y | 0.58 - 0.62 | |||||
| pan | P | 0.50 - 0.70 | 8 (L7 only) | 8 | |||
| rededge | Re | 0.70 - 0.79 | 5, 6, 7 | ||||
| nir | N | 0.75 - 1.00 | 4 | 8 | 2 | 4 | |
| nir08 | N08 | 0.75 - 0.90 | 5 | 8a | |||
| nir09 | N09 | 0.85 - 1.05 | 9 | ||||
| cirrus | Ci | 1.35 - 1.40 | 9 | 10 | 26 | ||
| swir16 | S16 | 1.55 - 1.75 | 5 | 6 | 11 | 6 | |
| swir22 | S22 | 2.10 - 2.30 | 7 | 7 | 12 | 7 | |
| lwir | L | 10.5 - 12.5 | 6 | ||||
| lwir11 | L11 | 10.5 - 11.5 | 10 | 31 | |||
| lwir12 | L12 | 11.5 - 12.5 | 11 | 32 |

This comes in handy when one wants to cram as much information in a file (or variable) name and still keep the name somewhat sort.

Why would this be needed in the STAC extension specification itself? Can't this easily be mapped in applications?

Discussed in STAC sprint
@m-mohr to create draft PR for v2.0 of this extension which will remove eo:bands for compliance with upcoming STAC 1.1 - see radiantearth/stac-spec#1254
