using.  So, I can get the center point, but I'd like to transform it to
geographic coordinates, but do not know the CRS that the returned extent is
using.  I've grepped through the API and do not see how to get this
information.

(And, it would seem there is a delta between the documented API and the
actual API available.  Will the documented API be updated soon?)
