I agree. And I think the complexity involved in the creation of one reinforces the misunderstanding.
GML is used now in the http://www.epsg-registry.org. This registry and the assignment of EPSG codes is controlled by the registration authority, in this case the OGP. Another such registry could easily be deployed assuming that someone is willing to be the registration authority and this could have perhaps a difference governance model than used by the OGP. The 19111 new parts will make their way into GML of course.
Thanks Ron. I wasn't that aware of the EPSG registry (I've only perused the MS Access stuff) or that it used GML.
Thanks, Ethan
