Comment:

 Well ogr2ogr doesn't support geography yet and I still prefer the dbf
 handling ability of shp2pgsql over that of ogr2ogr.

 My thinking for this was more of the usecase

 geometry (of stateplane/nad../utm) -> directly convert to geography

 and for that you will have to write transform glue anyway is my
 understanding so why not offer the same logic for those who want to
 transform on the fly.

 When you are trying to load up all of tiger -- its really nice to have
 that be a one step process. Instead of load --> transform -> drop column
