Aug 12, 2018 at 14:32 comment added Todd Trimble @MichaelBächtold I'm trying to think of a good reference to give you. Just generally speaking, I regard this as an application of a general theory of "doctrines" which are, roughly speaking, 2-monads on $Cat$, where the task is to give a suitable 2-coequalizer presentation $F(R) \rightrightarrows F(C) \to \mathit{Diff}$ in a 2-category of cartesian-closed categories, analogous to how we present algebras by generators and relations. This type of thing was explored in "Australian category theory" (e.g., SLNM 420) during the 70's. I've asked at the nLab if anyone knows a good reference.
Aug 12, 2018 at 11:06 comment added Michael Bächtold 'This universal cartesian closed category can be constructed syntactically' Do you know if this has been written down somewhere? I just stumbled upon this, hoping to find an answer to my related question.

two f's in a row look so hideous without proper kerning that I had to fix the TeX coding
