* The candidate CRSs are either hard-coded, or looked in the database when
* it is available.
*
+ * Note that the implementation uses a set of heuristics to have a good
+ * compromise of successful identifications over execution time. It might miss
+ * legitimate matches in some circumstances.

* The method returns a list of matching reference CRS, and the percentage
* (0-100) of confidence in the match. The list is sorted by decreasing
* confidence.
