[gdal-dev] Axis Ordering RFC

[Tamas Szekeres]

Frank,

Although I don't feel the problem deeply in my bones, I'm scared about
the number of changes it implies. In case if we would like to
represent the spatial reference with the same axis orientation
regardless of the underlying coordinate system definition then it
would be enough to add a new enum eg. AxisOrientation that could be
EastNorth or NorthEast or SouthEast whatever. And we can cosider X
orientation as being the 'East' and Y as the 'North' every time at the
GDAL/OGR interface. The most problematic issue about this is that who
will be responsible to set this property to the correct value.

Best regards,

Tamas
