(I barely remember any discussion on this topic.) I agree with you that CRS handling should be improved. Having 'unknown' CRS is more useful than assigning a bogus CRS and then trying to project it to some other CRS. I think we should remove on-the-fly projections option and _always_ do the reprojection of layers (many times this will be just a no-op). Only layers with unknown CRS wouldn't be projected. One problem here is that we haven't implemented raster reprojection yet.
