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.
Cheers
