 I will update the projection section as I go. I believe that we should 
set automatically the projection at the map level to epsg:4326 and not 
generate an error. The RFC right now reflects what is currently 
available but I intend to change this behavior which would make it I 
think easier for people.

I will go through the code and retrieve all error messages that are 
destined to the user and add a section in the RFC.

 I think It is a good idea in general to clearly define the error 
messages but I think It might not be always practical to have them in an 
RFC since this implies that the code is already written. I am more in 
favor of having them "mandatory" in the docs and "optional" in RFCs.

Thanks
