 Strk,

 To answer your question about why we want to get rid of srid=-1.  Everyone
 else uses 0 (Oracle/SQL Server (I know for sure)) and the MM specs as I
 recall say unknown should be 0.

 But we probably need to put in some tests before we can safely do this.
 For one if you can some how inherit Paul's SRID_UNKNOWN variable.  Not
 sure if that is possible.  That would be ideal I think.
