Etienne,

Could you expand on this a bit?  In particular I'm wondering if:

1) Is a south-up file represented as south up to GDAL applications?
That is, will geotransform[5] be negative or positive?

2) Depending on the answer to the above, are there any performance
implications when gdal_translate'ing from and to north north up datasets
in other formats?

The changes to the driver seem major enough and with backward
compatibility issues such that I think an RFC is reasonable.  Calling
for a vote on the existing document will likely be sufficient after
any discussion here.

Best regards,
