I see differences between "WKT Version 2" from EPSG (e.g. 
https://epsg.org/crs/wkt/id/10764) and "WKT2:2019" from projinfo (e.g. projinfo 
epsg:10764).


  1.  A lot of IDs that are mentioned in the EPSG version are missing in 
projinfo.
What I personally miss mostly is the IDs for PROJCRS and VERTCRS in a 
COMPOUNDCRS.
Confusingly, the ID["EPSG",8806] for the LENGTHUNIT["metre",1] is not given by 
projinfo for ELLIPSOID, but is given for PARAMETER["False easting" etc. in 
projinfo.

  1.  Some other data like PRIMEM and USAGE are mentioned by projinfo, but not 
in the EPSG version.

Why the differences, and is there a correct way?

It seems to me that most of the information is redundant anyway, just the EPSG 
code could do: e.g. COMPOUNDCRS["Bonaire DPnet + Bonaire 
height",ID["EPSG",10764]]. What elements are mandatory and what not? This is 
relevant to me because we might want to change the CONVERSION of some PROJCRSs 
in EPSG in the future without changing the ID of the PROJCRS. Omitting the 
CONVERSION and only mentioning the ID of the PROJCRS in the WKT therefore seems 
a saver choice for the metadata of geo-information. Is this allowed?
