The more I think about it the more I agree.  We don't currently have
any way to warn the users about odd projections or changes in
operation based on map selections now.  If a general method could be
implemented it could help with other things that come up in the
future.  Even copyright notices for datasets that require it.

Tigermap had an odd projection and it would have been nice to warn
the users about that.  A moot point now.
