The planetry science communirty have expressed a need for the model to support a triaxial ellipsoid. This could be done without any backward compatibility issues by adding to the Ellipsoid class (in the Datums package) one further optional attribute:
+semi-median axis: Length [0..1]
This would also be consistent with the triaxial ellipsoid extension documented in ISO 19162 annex D.
