No remarks ? Do people need a bit more time to review ?
Actually I have a question on which I'd like to get some feedback. In the
current state of the work, gdalinfo and ogrinfo will display the SRS in WKT1
when possible (consequence of "OGRSpatialReference::exportToWkt() without
options will report WKT 1 for CRS compatibles of this representation, and
otherwise use WKT 2:2015 (typically for Geographic 3D CRS)" mentionned in
"Default WKT version").
I was wondering if we couldn't default to WKT2:2015 in all cases for those
utilities. One small benefit of this is that for SRS built from EPSG code, the
WKT would include the area of use, which makes it easier to locate things.,
like
