 1. the title of the Projection Selector dialogs that appear on layer load
 and for change CRS in layer properties should be "Select Coordinate
 Reference System" or something like that in keeping with the recent change
 to the use of coordinate reference system nomenclature.

 2. the title of said dialog should include the layer name or datasource,
 at least on layer load when no CRS is found. This is because multiple
 layers may be loaded at one time and the load order or even that some do
 have a CRS detected leads to confusion as to which layer needs a CRS
 assigned.

 3. the text (Define this layer's projection...) that appears on some of
 the dialogs explaining what the dialog is about refers to Projection. This
 should be changed to Coordinate Reference System as it is the current
 usage.

 4. for vector layers, including GPS layers, the Projection Selector dialog
 presented from the layer properties, change CRS, should not have the text
 about defining the layer projection because one wasn't found. The text is
 somewhat misleading since one should have been set at layer load. The
 change CRS dialog for raster layer properties does not have this text, so
 vector layers should be the same.
