[Geojson] Closure?

[Tim Schaub]

Hey-

I like the idea of finalizing this.

Does anybody feel strongly about keeping this?  We're already pretty 
weak in our handling of crs, and I think this point is a bit silly.  Are 
we hoping that EPSG:4326 will go away if we discourage its use?

I like the idea of proposing a convention for crs definitions via url, 
but I wonder if this should be a bit different.

At some point, someone may want to know if they are getting WKT or proj4 
text via a url.  The above recommendation doesn't really leave room for 
differentiating.

What about

"crs": {
     "type": "WKT",
     "properties": {
         "url": "http://example.com/mysrs/ogcwkt"
     }
}

or (I don't really like this one)

"crs": {
     "type": "URL",
     "properties": {
         "wkt": "http://example.com/mysrs/ogcwkt"
     }
}

If neither of those sounds good, I'm ok with including Chris' proposal 
and seeing how things evolve (no shame in having a version 2 in my mind).
