Hi,
I was wondering whether Datum shift parameters (+towgs84=..) should be
officially part of the epsg file that comes with PROJ. I computed the
values for the Dutch and Belgian national grids (EPSG 28992 and 31370), see:
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2005-November/009894.html
and
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2006-October/013570.html
At the moment, these have to be put manually in the epsg-file and in the
spatial_ref_sys table of PostGIS.
Are these parameters to be included into a future release of PROJ? I
know Gerald Evenden has always been against mixing projections and datum
shifts.
