GeoTIFF alrady includes the option for scale and offset in the

It isn't clear why this information was added to the private GDAL tag.

Rob,

Are you suggesting that the "z" direction of the geotransmatrix is intendeded to be interpreted as offset and scaling for pixel values? I never took it that way in the past.
Perhaps you mean something else, and could clarify.
