 If you export vector data from QGIS using Layer > Save layer as... and
 choose GeoJSON as a format the data is exported without a "crs" property.

 In my case my data (originally a shapefile) is in Google Mercator, and I
 chose "Original CRS". I also tested with data in WGS 84 and tried setting
 the output CRS to something custom, BC Albers, but still no projection
 definition was written. I confirmed this by looking through the outputted
 geojson with a text editor and also by calling ogrinfo -so -al <json> and
 seeing that ogr wrongly reports WGS84 (as assume this is the case because
 this is the default according to the GeoJSON spec).

 I am running QGIS 1.6 on OS X
