    <p>Javier,</p>
    <p>digging a bit, there's a bit of back & forth history
      involved.</p>
    <p>Originally, PROJ returned the short name as the extent
      description . But then
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/commit/3ed9a613d8da9874f45d2a069686f1fa38c72ad9">https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/commit/3ed9a613d8da9874f45d2a069686f1fa38c72ad9</a>
      came: "Database: use extended description for extent/area of use,
      as done by epsg.org WKT export"</p>
    <p>EPSG apparently changed again their mind later since I see now
      that in their WKT output there's no longer any USAGE[] node.</p>
    <p>So basically the object model of osgeo::proj::metadata::Extent
      should likely be extended with a shortName() getter (the
      corresponding GeoAPI class that serves as the inspiration,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.geoapi.org/3.0/javadoc/org.opengis.geoapi/org/opengis/metadata/extent/Extent.html">http://www.geoapi.org/3.0/javadoc/org.opengis.geoapi/org/opengis/metadata/extent/Extent.html</a>,
      has a single getDescription()), a C binding to get it (likely
      proj_get_area_of_use_ex2()), and  
      AuthorityFactory::Private::createPropertiesSearchUsages() be
      modified to populate it.</p>

        <div>I have realized that extents have a name and a description.
          For instance NAVD88 has a short name "<span

        <div>In PROJ I can find only the description in
          "osgeo::proj::metadata::Extent::description" or in
          "osgeo::proj::io::AuthorityFactory::CRSInfo::areaName" (yes,
          this is the description, not the name)<br>

        <div>Is there a way to get the (short) name?</div>
