I see lots of additions of values in the ESRI_DATUM_NAME field which is good. I'll incorporate that. But there is also a change in the DATUM_NAME field from stuff like "Not specified (based on Authalic Sphere)" to "Sphere" but I am not aware of why these values were changed. Can this be explained?

Frank,

If the DATUM_NAME field was not changed corresponding to the change made in the ESRI_DATUM_NAME field, the datum after mapping will be "Not specified (based on Authalic Sphere)". In order to have a correct datum name, the DATUM_NAME field needs to set properly.

Note that this file cannot be applied as such as gdal_datum.csv is a file generated by libgeotiff/csv/add_esri_column.py from libgeotiff. This was perhaps not the case before
