Added a Wiki page about the axis order issue. I wrote it mostly from the material found in various emails from Paul, Jody, Bryce and others.

    http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/The+axis+order+issue

Note: the FORCE_LONGITUDE_FIRST_AXIS_ORDER hint is not yet implemented. This is a proposal that may change according feedback received.

2) Would it make sense to change plugin/gt2-epsg-wkt to plugin/gt2-geotools-wkt?

        It seems the WKT authority plugin is (1) a fork and (2) altered
        in terms of what axes are returned. Doesn't this make it a new
        data source with a parallel naming scheme to the EPSG data base
        but different results? Wouldn't changing the authority name help
        clarify its distinct status?

Maybe. The gt2-epsg-wkt plugin was wrote at a time where gt2-epsg-hsql was not functional. A possible path that I would like to suggest is:

- See if gt2-epsg-hsql (after the axis order issue
  is fixed) can meet the uDig and Geoserver needs.

- Refactor gt2-epsg-wkt as something like "gt2-epsg-extension", because it 
contains CRS
  not defined in the official EPSG database (I assume that it was in order to 
meet some
  client needs). All CRS defined in "gt2-epsg-hsql" would be removed from 
"gt2-epsg-extension",
  so the later would contains only custom CRS. As the name imply, it would 
provide an
  extension to the usual EPSG database.

Note: EPSG explicitly allows the addition of custom CRS in some specific code range (I forgot the code range).

        Martin.
