There are two other coordinate systems that have been suggested in the
context of the VO: HGC and HCD. I can't judge whether they are useful.

But I would suggest dropping GEI and HAE since, if I understand it
correctly, they are synonyms for ICRS and Ecliptic, respectively.

Cheers,

I've tried to take all of your user comments into account. Let me know if I
missed anything.

The major changes from the May 13th version a

1. Corrected the usage of i and j to match the final WCS paper usage.

2. Corrected Table 1, in particular the keyword "iVn_m"

3. Added a section on the use of cylindrical projections for synoptic maps.

4. Added heliocentric inertial (HCI) from Franz and Harper to Table 4.

Thank you to the people who've reviewed it so far for all your help.

William Thompson
