 * <P ALIGN="justify">An unofficial list of projections and their parameters can

 * Most projections expect the following parameters:

 *  <code>"semi_minor"</code> (mandatory),
 *  <code>"central_meridian"</code> (default to 0),
 *  <code>"latitude_of_origin"</code> (default to 0),

 *  <code>"false_easting"</code> (default to 0) and
 *  <code>"false_northing"</code> (default to 0).
