It isn't my assumption.  It  is  the  way  GRASS  was  originally
designed.   LOCATIONs  are in one projection - all data share the
same coordinate system. This is a fundamental design in GRASS and
very expensive to change.

Of course, you can trick GRASS, by editting the WIND file in your
mapset (and all the cellhd files as well) and just change the zone.
As long as the WIND file and the cellhd files havew the same zone
GRASS will be happy. But you will run into problems if you try to
do anything with a map that is in a different zone.

I agree that this is a  hassle.   Perhaps  if  you  could  change
locations  without  leaving  GRASS,  would  that  be a reasonable
compromise?

|you make the assumption that everyone works in only one area in a mapset.

|where you are in order to be able to work with the data in one location 
|without continuously getting in and out of grass.

|This way you can keep several mapsets in one location.
