Ok, I think we have all agreed that the order of our coordinates array 
is x, y [, z[, whatever]].

Given that (please stop me here if that is not something we all agree 
on), do we really think we can either

1) allow things like

     "crs": {
         "type": "EPSG",
         "properties": {
             "code": 2805
         }
     }

while disallowing the same structure with "code": 4326, or

2) forbid the EPSG codes from being used at all?

I think both are a bit foolish to believe.

I know that there are plenty of people who object to x, y ordering 
paired with a reference to EPSG:4326.  Has anyone spoken to any of these 
people and been given the impression that having a "coordinate_order" 
array makes them happy?
