there is a new PDF version of the chapter "Working with Projections" pp. 71.
fixing this "bug" and with improvements of the terminology from Carson. It
would be great if more people (projection/CRS specialists) can have a look at
the projection part again, and check if the section describes the current
projection/CRS support in QGIS correctly.
