</span>Automatic reprojection by default would indeed be a change. Difficult to say how<br>
breaking it is for existing workflows. Would be happy to hear about others'<br>
opinions. Another option would be to make RFCxxxx conformance an explicit user<br>
choice.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm concerned that requiring users to set an environment variable for conformance will extend the period of transition from 2008 to RFC GeoJSON. I honestly don't know that introducing a new format name ("geo+json" instead of "GeoJSON") would be better, but I think it could be better: `ogr2ogr -f geo+json` appears more portable (to, i.e., Windows) than `RFCxxxx_GEOJSON=TRUE ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON`.</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Sean Gillies</div></div>
