> Maybe a link to http://spatialreference.org/ could be added to the
location wizard.

> A extra button: "Look-Up your EPSG-code on the web". This button could
link to the above mentioned address.
A nice idea, albeit subject to volatility of some else's website.
Link the button to something we control like a page GRASS's wiki or
OSGeo's wiki or grass's osgeo web pages? Then old versions don't have
hardcoded deal links one day.
> Also a explanation why or what the EPSG-code is good for (the Mapserver
docs have nice examples) would be nice.
> Many migrating users would never have heard of EPSG...
mouse-over tooltip?
> Experienced users will appreciate when working with other projections...
