What about the following policy?
* "epsg" in "+init=epsg:4326" refers to axis order as declared in the
EPSG database.
* For axis order as used in Proj.4, one of the following choices:
o Define a new authority name, for example "+init=proj4:4326".
o Or append a parameter to the code, for example
"+init=epsg:4326;axisOrder=lonlat". This proposal as been
discussed at OGC, but I don't think it became official
recommendation.
