[MetaCRS] Specifying Coordinate Order in Test Data File...Again

[Martin Davis]

Makes sense.  So in this case, since the projection is ESPG:2227, the
ordinate order should be XY.

Am I right in thinking that some CS specification formats don't encode
the ordinate explicitly (eg ESRI, PROJ4) ?   Not sure if that's an
issue for the test files or not - I suppose it's really an issue for
the library itself to try and figure out this information somehow (eg
by assumption or exception)

If the source CS has swapped axes, then the source ordinates would be swapped.  Similarly with the target ordinates.  Thus, the test suite can also be used to test axis ordering without concern about ordinate ordering.
