Good news, Bruce!
I will use this with googlemaps and ajax. Best case for me would be to
be without additional table, but to give 2 collection of points (one
with the "bad", one with the "good" coordinates) and simply return the
coefs for use with ST_Affine.

Based on a previous post on affine transformations of GIS data in PostGIS, I
have put together a function that takes a table of control points and
computes the affine transformation coefficients using the least squares code
from GRASS. A nice tutorial by Dylan Beaudette on this is at:
http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/433
At this point I would like some feed back on how this could be used. I
envision a GIS package (say uDIG) would allow a user to select pairs of
points and populate a table with a similar layout as ESRI's link table when
georeferencing. A query would give the RMS error and similar query would
return the table back with the residual errors. If the user were then happy
with the values (after deleting poor matching points), a final query could
then be made to the ST_Affine function to modify the geometry based on the
control points.
Comments?
