I think it might be more accurate to say that there is UTM coordinate / zone 
that best fits every point in LL84, but even that is not true at the zone 
boundary.  
 
In any case...  I tried the following:
 
- Create a grid (2DGridCreator) with a starting point of (-180,-90), two rows 
high, sixty columns wide, with each row being 90 high and each column being 60 
wide.
 
- For the North zones (row = 1), add 32601 to the column number (0-59) to 
derive the EPSG for UTM84
 
- For the South zones (row = 0), add 32701 to the column number (0-59)
 
(either a Tester, or an ExpressionEvaluator "((@Value(_row) == 0)?32701:32601) 
+ @Value(_column)" can be used)
 
- Concatenate "EPSG:" with the value of the EPSG number.
 
Then I tried running a couple points through a PointOnAreaOverlayer to assign 
the best-fit EPSG definition to the point, and referred to this variable by 
value (&_mySRS) in the AttributeReprojector.  This failed miserably (it 
appeared to run, but the coordinates were wacky).
 
It would be nice if there was a way of defining a non-homogeneous (per-feature) 
SRS in the AttributeReprojector.

Hallo Hans

Thanks for your remarks ...

To clarify my question:
Of course KML needs LL84 in the coordinates, no change in that.

But withing Google Earth you can choose to display the UTM coordinates
instead of Lat Lon on the screen display (at least in the 4 Beta
version from June 2006)

What I do at placemarks is to prepare the Latitude/Longitude values as
attributes of the placemark so they pop up as a HTML table, when I
click on the placemark.

In this HTML table I want to add the UTM values and calculate them via
an AttributeReprojector.

That's the background ...

... and in AttributeReprojector I need to specify a target coordsys.
which is kind of superfluous for a LL84 -> UTM conversion, as this is
clearly defined from the Lat/Lon value ...

Hope this makes more clear where I am locked.

Thanks for anyone who took the time reading this ...

Michael
