Comment (by etourigny):

 I agree with your revised draft, except for note (3) which I would drop
 entirely.

 The main points of this ticket relate to adding missing parameters, not
 about making semi_major_axis inverse_flattening and semi_minor_axis
 mandatory. Indeed it would be a bit tricky deciding which CRS/grid_mapping
 definitions require radius values.

 I would say offhand to make them mandatory in any grid_mapping definition,
 but that is probably very restrictive and cause some disruptions. This is
 indeed a problem in the CF standard - what is the default sphere radius if
 none is given? It should probably be addressed in another
 ticket/discussion, which I cannot start due to time constraints.

 Cheers,
 Etienne
