But "we" did the same. "We" choose to only support WGS84 in CAP 1.1
There is also a "consequence" from that decision and an "imposition"  
to others.

Is that "appropriate" or "wise" ???

At the time, it might have been. But things move on and time passes.

CAP 2.0 (might as well jump on the Web 2.0 bandwagon ;-) should/must  
be broader and meet more *global* needs. Profiles can be created at  
the implementation level(s).

Otherwise OASIS will not move away from its US-centric views of  
"global".
