I'm fully aware of all of the above; and am merely suggesting he
inclusion of half-a-dozen or so words, in order that it is made clear to
readers who are not.
For example, instead of:
The optional "crs" URI parameter described below may be used by
future specifications to define the use of CRSes other than
WGS-84. This is primarily intended to cope with the case of
another CRS replacing WGS-84 as the predominantly used one,
rather than allowing the arbitrary use of thousands of CRSes for
the URI (which would clearly affect interopability). [...]
