Sounds good.

We prefaced ours with esri_pe_string because it has some small
differences from the official GML WKT.

I'll spend some time looking into be able to read both representations.
Might not make it into ver 9.2 since we've wrapped development on it but
should at least have it in the next release followin that.

Steve,

I have finished the projection part of NetCDF with the same approach. It is not 
checked in yet, but I am planning to do so today.    I have created and 
computed the following metadata.

Attributes:
Northernmost_Northing   (These attributes are used only if there is no
GeoTransform array.)
Southernmost_Northing
Easternmost_Easting
Westernmost_Easting

GeoTransform  (this is the GDAL adfGeoTransform array  )

spatial_ref (this is the WKT you called esri_pe_string );

Denis
