No unfortunatly :(. I was not aware neither of the behavior of Orthographic 
reported by EPSG, thanks for pointing this link.

This is at your choice. This is determined by the CartesianCS argument you pass 
to the createProjectedCRS constructor. The DefaultCartesianCS.PROJECTED constant 
defines axes in metres, but you could define an other CartesianCS with other 
axes in different units.
