Yes. That is what I am suggesting. This is mentioned in the GeoTIFF
specs as a possible use for that parameter pair. Given that there is no
concept of raster spacing in the vertical direction, how else might you
interpret the vertical scaling parameters? Even if we created 2-D
vertical-longitude profiles, these should have x- and y- axes within the
GeoTIFF, for broswers and other software to render correctly.

GeoTIFF alrady includes the option for scale and offset in the

It isn't clear why this information was added to the private GDAL tag.
Rob,
Are you suggesting that the "z" direction of the geotransmatrix
is intendeded to be interpreted as offset and scaling for pixel
values? I never took it that way in the past.
Perhaps you mean something else, and could clarify.
