Re: [sdw] Best Practice 7 - discussion of projections (#1326)

> Slightly off the topic, but still on this Best Practice. Should we also make more mention of WGS 84 Long/Lat (OGC CRS84) as that is the only CRS recommended for GeoJSON and the default CRS for GeoSPARQL, so is increasingly popular (however much that might infuriate old mariners & pilots :) ).

There is a difference between popular practice and best practice. Yes, CRS84 is a popular CRS, but recommending it is something else. On the contrary, it could be advisable _not_ to use CRS84 outside of North America (I think both GeoJSON and GeoSPARQL were short-sighted in this respect). The standard CRS for geographical data in Europe is ETRS89.
