It's evenly split between GeoTools and GeoServer.

SPIs tend to be hard-coded, you can have only one instance of each class
registered, which tends to favour
an approach based on modules, each one having its WKT authority factory
subclass.
What I may be able to do get away with, in order to support files
discovered in the data directory, is to use
bytecode engineering to create the new subclasses on the fly.

90% of it is really going to be specific bug fixes in the places making the
EPSG assumptions,
I have a laundry list of things and will likely discover more as I work on
it (hence the strict scope control,
I have a contract backing this, not a charity).

The only truly new bit will be the support for the IAU authority.
That said, as a "thing" it's big enough that I thought I would write a
proposal anyways.
