Roger,

I agree with the concept and have submitted your suggestion in Bugzilla
as bug 211 (http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211).

However I would also note:
o If there are EPSG code numbers in the WKT via the AUTHORITY[] mechanism
that should be utilized.
o Even if we write the PCS code I would still like to write out the full
projection parameters.

Best regards,
