[gdal-dev] OGC announces a new standard that improves the way information is referenced to the earth

[Ari Jolma]

That also caught my eye. The text sounds a bit like marketing talk but 
maybe there is something.

 From a quick look my understanding is that the idea is to create a grid 
that divides the whole earth into cells of similar shape in a sequence 
of increasing cell size. And that sounds to me like a new idea.

Any other thoughts? Did I get the idea right?

Best,

Ari
