  <gml:remarks>Uses spherical development of ellipsoidal coordinates. Relative to WGS 84 / World Mercator (CRS code 3395) errors of 0.7 percent in scale and differences in northing of up to 43km in the map (equivalent to 21km on the ground) may arise.</gml:remarks>
  <gml:domainOfValidity xlink:href="urn:ogc:def:area:EPSG::3544" />
  <gml:scope>Certain Web mapping and visualisation applications. It is not a recognised geodetic system: for that see ellipsoidal Mercator CRS code 3395 (WGS 84 / World Mercator).</gml:scope>
