Hi Jukka,

Yes, for all your above reasons, I would prefer to avoid it.
Although the axis order trouble (the one of EPSG) and interpretation of origin 
(pixel center) should be mostly clarified with the revised version.
As far as ground countrol points are concerned, I've not really looked at the 
capabilities of GMLCov, so perhaps there's something in it for that. 
Otherwise, that would be indeed a drawback.
