<p>(…snip…) I altered the WKT on that map from Mercator_1SP
-> Mercator_2SP and changed 'latitude_of_center' to
'standard_parallel_1' and now it works exactly as in the old
GDAL & PROJ.</p>

<p>Note: in EPSG database version 7.6 and later:</p>
<ul>
<li>"Mercator (1SP)" has been renamed "Mercator (variant A)"</li>
<li>"Mercator (2SP)" has been renamed "Mercator (variant B)"</li>
<li>There is also a "Mercator (variant C)"</li>
</ul>
<p>Maybe the renaming was done for making room for variant C, I
don't know. As Even said:</p>
<ul>
<li>Variant A has a "Scale factor at natural origin" parameter.</li>
<li>Variant B has a "Latitude of 1st standard parallel" parameter.</li>
<li>Variant C has a "Latitude of false origin" parameter in
addition of standard parallel.</li>
</ul>
<p>The "latitude of center" parameter name in the old WKT may be
confusing. While variant B seems to work, having "center" in the
parameter name gives the impression that the projection could be
variant C. The "Latitude/longitude of false origin" of "Mercator
(variant C)" define the location where projected coordinates are
(0,0), which may look like a projection center (by contrast,
"Latitude of 1st standard parallel" does not have this effect).</p>
