and Open Plans are talking about the possibility (probably remote) of a shared
library for SRS or CRS definitions and transformations. The idea wouldn’t
be to scrap existing libraries found in GeoTools and deegree, or in other
projects, but to come up with a plan for eventually merging parts of these
libraries into a single low-level library that could be shared among all.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
