I object: I proposed that you use a custom EPSG code >32767, as recommended by EPSG. Please refer to my email, included below.

Would you consider another integer >32767? Think of other extensions, like 900913. What is l33t for c4rt3514n (still missing a few digits)? Furthermore, if we were to accept EPSG:0, would GeoServer start advertising it in its Capabilities? Kind regards, Ben. http://www.epsg.org/CurrentDB.html ****** EPSG Codes The OGP Geodesy Subcommittee has reserved the integer range 0 to 32767 for use as codes. As of dataset version 6.3, the integer range from 6,000,000 to 6,999,999 was also reserved for codes for geographic CRSs in explicitly described degree representations, but this is no longer supported. To prevent conflict with future additions to the EPSG dataset, users who wish to augment the data with their own information should utilise codes greater than 32768. If users wish to supplement the change table with their own entries, it is important that the user's change notice IDs be above the EPSG integer code limit of 32,767.0. Such an entry in the change table is required for users to deprecate any erroneous user data. ****** -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <[email protected]> Software Engineering Team Leader CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering Australian Resources Research Centre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
