As long as the other datum can be named in a parameter, there are no surprises;
if you see a triple with a named datum in that parameter, you use that datum
to understand the reference. Else, you use the default--WGS84.

Is it simple? In the case where WGS84 is in use, yep it is as simple as the
geo URI as currently described. It is also more extensible--with the URI
syntax giving you the ability to get that extensibility while giving you
a useful default.
