By the way, you can use PROJ 6 with the "proj-dev" package of OSGeo4W.

Yes, this field of the header is ignored. But out of curiousity, are there 
other possible values ? Do you have a link to a specification of the format ? 
I'm not sure if PROJ and GDAL implementations have been done from reverse 
engineering of examples or from a format description.

Clearly good candidates to use multistep pipeline :-)
