Defining the MapInfo Codespace

In the following table, we show the current MapInfo Codespace. These definitions will allow your
XML-based map documents to use our codespace and refer to common values, such as srsName.
An example of a point geometry definition, for example, could look like this:

<gml:Point srsName="mapinfo:coordsys 1,74"> ...</gml:Point> or
<gml:Point srsName="epsg:4269"> ...</gml:Point>
