I like the idea. It sounds like a pretty good fit for this situation. I also like listing in capabilities and to the user since it makes it explicit that the crs is more or less uninitialized and was the servers final guess. +1. How will/should this be introduced? Should we introduce a system

2011-01-09 Thread Andrea Aime
Hi, I'd like to hear what people think about the idea of adding a new custom EPSG code, EPSG:0, to GeoServer, to be used when no EPSG code can be guessed from the data source (or when it's just plain missing). EPSG:0 would map to DefaultEngineeringCRS.GENERIC_2D, which is designed to be a lenient

I like the idea. The use case that strikes me as quite nice is someone having no idea what the epsg is, but just wanting to look at it in the layer preview. 0 seems like a nice way to represent that. And a nice way to get it in to our system where maybe they could figure out the epsg. With
