Because there is many programmatic tests performed through the API, in addition 
of testing the actual transformed point values: axis order, units, prime 
meridian, transform consistency, area of validity, etc. This test suite does not 
just tests if the transformed points are correct; it actually tests if the 
CoordinateReferenceSystem and CoordinateOperation objects are ISO 19111 compliant.

This is complementary with the MetaCRS test format. Actually once this MetaCRS 
file will be available, I plan to add a JUnit test using it straight into the 
"geoapi-conformance" module, so GeoAPI implementations (including Proj.4 through 
the JNI wrappers) will get this test case automatically without any coding on 
their side.
