[Proj] +towgs84 approximation error

[Noel Zinn (cc)]

Jochem, yes, the original challenge was to demonstrate that the 7 parameters 
of a Helmert transformation derived in a small area are squandered due to 
the high correlations with the rotations (regardless of how the rotations 
are approximated, or not) and that 7 coefficients could be "spent" better in 
2 or 3 regression equations depending upon the dimensionality of the 
experiment, but we'd have to decide how to handle the geoid, or not.  Is 
this your understanding?  -Noel

PS:

Noel, I read your email again, and I think I misunderstood your suggestion
for the "challenge". It is not about the strict/approximate formulas, but
only about correlated/uncorrelated parameters, right? Then we can do it
exactly as you suggested. I still see it as an experiment. I am really
interested in the outcome, not in winning.

Kind regards, Jochem
