I would appreciate hearing a bit more about the downsides of using WGS84
as a pivot datum since PROJ.4 is still based on this assumption.  I understand
that it tends to lead to kludges for some situations and makes chaining
challenging, but these seem to be implementation issues more than fundamentals
of using WGS84 as a pivot datum.
