Maria, my understanding is that the projection(s) that you want to advertise
for your service should be listed in the WEB stanza METADATA block with the
"wms_srs" tag.  If you use a MAP-level projection and no wms_srs metadata
then your service will advertise that single projection.  If wms_srs is
defined then the MAP-level PROJECTION simply becomes a default for Mapserver
to apply to your data sources.  See the WMS Server HOWTO for more details:
