Comment(by pramsey):

 There's two things I'm thinking about here.

  * First, the internal code for finding bestsrid currently does nothing
 over the dateline. Both of these examples cross.
  * Second, the use of Gnomic would be good for constructive geometry
 (since line crossings are exactly where they should be), but limiting for
 anything involving measurement, since it distorts area and distance rather
 quickly.

 No easy answers, but topics of interest.
