EPSG is at the top. Spatialreference.org does updates whenever EPSG does (or at least, we're trying to): in the meantime, you could add it as a user reference: http://spatialreference.org/ref/upload/ This would give you a fixed URL you could use to share with other people until EPSG makes a new release. GDAL does updates about annually, I think (perhaps slightly less); GeoTools is relatively far behind at this point, but it is possible to use an EPSG database directly. Generally speaking, I would suggest providing a WKT description o your projection as widely as possible -- any place you include data, and so on. From that, people can usually get the other information they need tou se the projection in their software.
