* The dynamic look up code should be in a separate module so that it
can be excluded, or a different service lookup service used.
* The NZGD49 to WGS should fail. It's a grid shift datum transform.
* Why did you remove my bi-directional transform form my test page?
* The object model is overly complex, adds nothing to the clarity or
usability, and distances the library from its C language origins.

This project would benefit for a steering committee, or generally
better oversight.
