I think the the Netherlands situation is the same as the US (different
orthometric height definitions, different underlying datum for HAE,
different geoid models of course, but structurally the same). In both
NL and US cases, I think it is incorrect to add a CRS for [orthometric
height estimated from HAE and GEOID X].
(I believe, after off-list conversations with Kristian and trying to
read a report in Danish, that in Denmark, there really are additional
height system realizations.)
