I think he has that correct. Ime it's split on east/north vs. north/east but wgs84 is very dominant with lat/lon.

Huh, thanks. Researching this more, I think you're right.

I thought the Open Geospatial Consortium's standards would reflect dominant practice, that turns out to have been the wrong assumption [1]

The only geospatial software I've used is Proj4J, which normalizes with a function called toENU.

I guess I've only encountered weird stuff then.
