What about the following policy?

  * "epsg" in "+init=epsg:4326" refers to axis order as declared in the
    EPSG database.
  * For axis order as used in Proj.4, one of the following choices:
      o Define a new authority name, for example "+init=proj4:4326".
      o Or append a parameter to the code, for example
        "+init=epsg:4326;axisOrder=lonlat". This proposal as been
        discussed at OGC, but I don't think it became official
        recommendation.
