I brought up this issue to the Coverages WG in St Louis when I co-presented with Ben. I was told that the CRS variability was resolved with parameterized CRSs via URN. I also brought up the issue of pressure levels, and it sounded like pressure levels were representable as well. I also have a note about ISO 19133 and Linear Coordinate Reference Systems, which is probably in reference to the representation of pressure levels.
I believe George Percivall and Carl Reed answered these questions, so they may be worth contacting for further information.

Hi All,

At the Ocenas IE report we had discussions about this issue:

http://www.oostethys.org/ogcae-ocean-science-ie-report-has-been-submitted-to-ogc

see:
-  section 9.4.1 which is a summary if how to use OGC urns
-  section 9.6 about Vertical Datum Coordinate reference system


and the EPSG registry where you can search for codes is here:
