022 * A conversion from geodetic (<var>longitude</var>,<var>latitude</var>) coordinates
023 * to Cartesian (<var>x</var>,<var>y</var>) coordinates.
024 * Ellipsoidal height plays no role in the conversion process,

027 * <div class="warning"><b>Upcoming API change — removal</b><br>
028 *   This interface is not part of the OGC/ISO abstract specification.
029 *   It has been added in GeoAPI 3.0 as a filter for
030 *   {@linkplain org.opengis.referencing.operation.MathTransformFactory#getAvailableMethods(Class)
031 *   listing the map projection methods} available in an implementation.
032 *   This interface may be removed in GeoAPI 4.0.
033 *   Users should use the {@link Conversion} parent interface instead.
