Subject: Re: [emergency] Groups - CAP 1.1 Subcommittee Draft (CAP_1.1-draft_1-4-05) uploaded
Got this. Will discuss in the GIS SC. Of course, if OASIS CAP referenced the OGC/ISO Spatial Referencing by Coordinates (Coordinate Reference System) standards and EPSG as the normative reference for CRS parameters, there would be no issue :-) Also, if CAP is used outside the US, the proposed approach for "signing coordinates" runs into serious problems in a number of countries - such as South Africa, which uses the Lo-Gauss projection.
