Even,
Thank you very much, I'll test that out. As much as I like the idea of the
authority codes, I've seen enough examples where software has an incorrect
lookup of what the parameters are for a code or simply doesn't know the
code. It would be nice if they all leveraged Proj, but they don't. Even if
they did, I've seen many of my user base being slow (20 years in one case)
to upgrade software, so newer codes won't be recognized.
