May be you still have some sources which I can use to start from? Even

May be there it makes sense to have possibility to specify the level of
exactness of comparision for every group of parameters?

Like user-configurable "epsilon" 0.001 degree for lat/lon, 0.01 meter
for x_0/y_0 with some good default values?

Any other ideas?
