Despite having spent two years on the SDW WG, I'm obviously not yet familiar with all gespatial lingo... What exactly is a TCRS? I guess it's some kind of Coordinate Reference System, but I can't make out the T.

Who manages that registry and what is the process of adding new values?

As with all conneg related things, there are registries of allowed/accepted values (managed by IANA) and there are process in place to add new values (e. g. http headers or language tags) to them. Is there a canonical registry for CRSs?
