CoordinateOperationFactory should query AuthorityBackedFactory for 
transformation steps
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: GEOT-852
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-852
     Project: GeoTools
        Type: Improvement

  Components: referencing  
    Versions: 2.3.M0, 2.2-RC2    
    Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
 Assigned to: Martin Desruisseaux 
    Priority: Minor
     Fix For: 2.3.M0


The coordinate operation factory query the authority database (usually EPSG) 
only for the requested operation as a whole. For example the following 
transformation:

   27572 ("NTF (Paris) / Lambert zone II")   -->  4326 ("WGS 84")

is really implemented (both in Geotools and in EPSG spirit) as

   27572 ("NTF (Paris) / Lambert zone II")   -->  4807 ("NTF (Paris)")  -->  
4326 ("WGS 84")

However, CoordinateOperationFactory ask the EPSG database only for a 
transformation from 27572 to 4326 as a whole, which is not recorded in the EPSG 
database. It should query the database again for the 4807 to 4326 step, which 
is recorded in the EPSG database. This is necessary in order to get 
informations like Bursa-Wolf parameters, which increase transformation accuracy.
