> Apache SIS 1.0 already supports the "Sinusoidal equal area" projection with spherical and ellipsoidal formulas. But some remote sensing data appear to be using something more similar to Google "Pseudo-Mercator" projection: they use spherical formulas and apply the result on WGS84 ellipsoid instead of a sphere. For supporting those remote sensing data, we need a "Pseudo sinusoidal equal are" projection.
> Note that this is not the same thing than using the sinusoidal projection on a sphere, in the same way that "Pseudo Mercator" projection is not the same as "Spherical Mercator" projection.
> I'm not aware of a name for this projection. The "Pseudo sinusoidal" name proposal is by analogy with "Pseudo Mercator".
