If "MSL" is "Mean Sea Level", no this is a different thing. 0 meters above the 
ellipsoid may be many meters above or below the Mean Sea Level.

If you need a heigh above the Mean Sea Level, you can get something close by 
using "Height above the geoid" instead (note the term "geoid" in place of 
"ellipsoid"). The modules/unsupported/referencing3D module handles the 
transformations from "height above the ellipsoid" to "height above the geoid". 
However in its current state, you have to instantiate the MathTransform object 
directly - it is not yet done automatically by 
DefaultCoordinateOperationFactory.
