Description

Currently, Apache SIS marshals the XML representation of the EPSG:7048 ellipsoid ("GRS 1980 Authalic Sphere") as below (extract):

<gml:semiMajorAxis uom="urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001">6371007</gml:semiMajorAxis>
<gml:secondDefiningParameter>
  <gml:SecondDefiningParameter>
    <gml:semiMinorAxis uom="urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001">6371007</gml:semiMinorAxis>
  </gml:SecondDefiningParameter>
</gml:secondDefiningParameter>

This is not wrong, but the GML way would rather be:

<gml:semiMajorAxis uom="urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001">6371007</gml:semiMajorAxis>
<gml:secondDefiningParameter>
  <gml:SecondDefiningParameter>
    <gml:isSphere>true</gml:isSphere>
  </gml:SecondDefiningParameter>
</gml:secondDefiningParameter>
