Description

ESRI has a WKT-1 style for representing coordinate operations, or at least the operations used in two-dimensional datum shifts. Example:

GEOGTRAN["Palestine_1923_to_WGS_84_1",
  GEOGCS["GCS_Palestine_1923",
    DATUM["D_Palestine_1923",
      SPHEROID["Clarke_1880_Benoit", 6378300.789, 293.46631553898]],
      PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.0], UNIT["Degree", 0.0174532925199433]],
  GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
    DATUM["D_WGS_1984",
    SPHEROID["WGS_1984", 6378137.0, 298.257223563]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.0], UNIT["Degree", 0.0174532925199433]],
  METHOD["Position_Vector"],
    PARAMETER["X_Axis_Translation", -275.7224],
    PARAMETER["Y_Axis_Translation", 94.7824],
    PARAMETER["Z_Axis_Translation", 340.8944],
    PARAMETER["X_Axis_Rotation", -8.001],
    PARAMETER["Y_Axis_Rotation", -4.42],
    PARAMETER["Z_Axis_Rotation",-11.821],
    PARAMETER["Scale_Difference", 1.0],
  AUTHORITY["EPSG", 1074]]

The GeodeticObjectParserTest class is very close of being able to support that. It looks like a simplified version of existing parseOperation(…) method.
