Re: [sdw] Best Practice 12 - Convenience APIs (#1237)

I'm happy to be able to report progress on this issue, thanks to all who commented.

First, the good news is that there **is** [a registry for grid sets](https://defs.opengis.net/vocprez/object?uri=http://www.opengis.net/def/tms) that includes the origin, resolutions, tilesize and bounds, as well as the CRS associated to the grid set, based on the [TMS specification Annex D](https://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/17-083r2/17-083r2.html#annex_d).

The not so good news is that [there is an  emerging 'clarification' of TMS that allows the CRS underlying a grid set to be treated interchangeably in some circumstances](https://docs.opengeospatial.org/DRAFTS/17-083r3.html#TileMatrixSetCRSCompatibility).  Unfortunately, this clarification goes right to the heart of why grid sets **should** be standardized as part of the / as though they are CRS: because of the resulting axis order (and other) confusion that will certainly result from such interchangeability.
