Ah ok, well it is just that it is valid WKT. But we cannot really tell that GDAL
fully supports it currently. For example the Validate() method of
OGRSpatialReference would return FALSE since it doesn't know the Times
projection method, and which projection parameters are valid with it. And we
don't have a OGRSpatialReference.SetTimes() method. And not mentionning
importFromProj4/exportToProj4() (but we would need proj.4 support of it before
of course)
