Frank,
Did search a bit for prj<-->xml conversion tools and wonder if OGR
supports OpenGIS GeospatialXML standard:
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/ct 
Any plans to adopt it?
Thank you.
Gennady

Gennady,

The C++ class used for this is OGRSpatialReference and it is part of my
GDAL/OGR library (http://www.gdal.org).  The OGRSpatialReference class
supports translating between a variety of coordinate system formats,
including WKT (it's internal representaton), PROJ.4, GML (weak really),
and a few other esoteric options.  A reasonable primer on the services
is available at:

   http://www.gdal.org/ogr/osr_tutorial.html

Incidentally, this is the class uses to generate the PROJ.4 "epsg" init
file.

Best regards,
