Very nice, Andrea. This seems like an excellent tool to make it easier to
access all the coordinate system goodness inside GeoServer.  (In spite of
all the CRS libraries out there, I'm always surprised by how hard it is to
actually just convert an ad hoc coordinate).

A suggestion about the UI - for ease of cutting and pasting from other
systems, it might be better to have a single text box for each of the
coordinates.  The ordinate values can be easily parsed out by splitting on
non-numeric chars (in particular, commas and blanks).  The coordinates can
be output using some convention as a separator - comma is the obvious one,
but blanks would do as well (which gives compatibility with WKT).

And really, why stop at single coordinates?  It would be pretty easy to
allow entering WKT too, right?   8^)
