<p>I did not yet had the time to follow this thread closely (will
try to do later), but I would like to react on some points:</p>
<ul>
<li>In my reading of ISO 19111 §3.1.16 [1], the difference between
WGS84 realizations can be close to one meter. Note huge, but not
irrelevant neither.</li>
<li>ISO 19111 §3.1.62 seems to define a static reference frame as
a frame without time evolution, regardless if fixed to the plate
or not.</li>
<li>In past emails I have seen WGS84 cited as a "dynamic datum".
In my understanding, it is rather a "datum ensemble", which is
not the same thing.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Useful quote from ISO 19111:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“WGS 84” as an undifferentiated group of realizations including
WGS 84 (TRANSIT), WGS 84 (G730), WGS 84 (G873), WGS 84 (G1150),
WGS 84 (G1674) and WGS 84 (G1762). At the surface of the Earth
these have changed on average by 0.7m between the TRANSIT and
G730 realizations, a further 0.2m between G730 and G873, 0.06m
between G873 and G1150, 0.2m between G1150 and G1674 and 0.02m
between G1674 and G1762).</p>
