Review Comment:
   @rdblue Although the GeoParquet community would really appreciate the 
possibility of embedding a full CRS description somewhere in Parquet, we 
understand that compromises need to be made sometimes.
   
   Like @paleolimbot said, will it be acceptable that if we remove any 
conventions or requirements around the `string crs` and only allow this single 
value in the column metadata?
   
   This means, the writer can put whatever they want but they will need to 
communicate this to the reader via other channel.
