We've been looking at replacing it with the Military Grid system.  The primary 
issue with the current is that the Sinusoidal projection is broken which then 
breaks almost all the tests.  I worked on it for a while trying to straighten 
it out, but gave up and now think it is easier to implement clean.  I 
definitely would like to see a tier/grid implementation.
