For our version, I would make this a Dataset method and always return another Dataset (no `strict` flag). Pulling out the single variable of a Dataset as a DataArray should be a separate method, e.g., `.item()` like the NumPy method.

``` python
def get_std_name_vars(ds,std_name):
    return ds[[k for k, v in ds.data_vars.iteritems() if 'standard_name' in v.attrs and std_name in v.standard_name]]
```

I don't think there's a better way to do this currently. Hypothetically, we could add this to a CF-specific API for xray, e.g., as discussed in #461.
