An aside to this issue: the NIMA pdf Janne ref'ed on local geodetic systems
notes "ID codes" with it appendix of ellipoid tables. For example: WGS 84
was code "WE".
Reference may be in the pdf but I could not locate it. It just refers
to "standardized two letter code."
Does anyone know where and who is responsible for these codes?
