In data pre-processing EPSG codes (e.g. 9300, the MML07 Grid) should be removed if they aren't found in the PROJ database (and in turn can't easily be used in R). Or, alternatively they can be kept in but filtered out by default so users only get them as options if they really want them. For example:
EPSG code 27700 makes sense for the top choice for London and even though the others technically are suitable they aren't directly usable for most R users. Perhaps something like a
drop_na
argument that defaults toTRUE
and removes the CRSs that aren't directly usable, but allows users to look them up if doing so intentionally.
