Heh; I am with the OGC on this one (it is impossible to please everyone
on this issue) - Even if you document the specification in x, y, z order
if it does not match the EPSG database axis order then you are going to
have problems with some data somewhere - and thus need a flag.
Any chance you guys can just leave off the "EPSG:" part and go with
"JSON:4326" :-)
