Introduction of new srid to load autodesk data for mapguide not supported by oracle?

In the Netherlands we have (had) a lot of problems when introducing Autodesk geo data in Oracle Spatial, because of the different spatial reference systems used in both applications. A company ISIS (these days part of Bentley) develloped a fix for the problem, which is widely used by local administration in the Netherlands (organisations using mapguide FlexiWeb).

In the fix ISIS, amongst other things, introduces a new srid in Oracle (srid 19025), similar to RD (dutch standard system).

However yesterday i learned this fix is not officially supported by Oracle. So lots of organisations will miss oracle support when there software solution fails. The province of Limburg didn't agree with the ISIS-fix and tried to find another solution, so they brought a team of Oracle, Autodesk and other developers together working on an Oracle supported fix. The project is in full progress and a fix is expected soon.
