I'm glad to see these issues coming up. I'm hoping some of our geospatial technology experts will chime in here and give us some guidance. From past experience, things like the grid systems used in some countries, and the ellipsoidal coordinate systems used in others make interchange difficult when not knowing what each part of the system expects for a datum. (Similarly for timestamps, it should be noted that GPS time is not quite UTC.) -Matt
