I agree that it would be an additional labor but the Proj.4<br>
grammar is so easy that it does not take very many lines<br>
to implement</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I somewhat kind of doubt it since, as Frank says, the syntax for some of the more esoteric projections may be non trivial. And under all circumstances there will be a lot of special cases (e.g. the zone specifier for utm). For each individual projection I agree that it may not be a big thing to implement syntax checking - but there is a lot of projections, and one would need to understand the specifics of all of them. Actually, as far as I can see, this amounts to writing "a significant fraction of N" syntax checkers for the N projections in the library.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you can see simpler ways to do it, I think you should flesh it out in code and post a patch: Others may want to join the effort once you have actually shown how easy it is.</div><div><br></div><div>
