 The most recent documentation states, "One restriction [of PostGIS
 geography] is that it only supports WGS 84 long lat (SRID:4326)":

 4.2. PostGIS Geography Type

 However, I have tested creating data with a few other SRIDs, and it seems
 to function properly. In addition, other related OSGeo pages suggests that
 there have been other supported SRIDs since PostGIS 2.1.6:

 Geography can create non-4326 geography but geography typmod won't allow
 it

 Can you provided a list of SRIDs in which PostGIS Geography supports if it
 is not limited to WGS 1984. In addition, if PostGIS Geography supports
 other SRIDs other than 4326, can the documentation be updated to reflect
 so?
