The GeoTIFF 1.0 Specification references the EPSG 2.1 database. Without a specification revision this remains the case; however, it is common practice amoung vendors producing and consuming GeoTIFF files to support recent versions of the EPSG database, currently 6.4 or higher. The libgeotiff reference implementation is distributed with .csv files from a recent release of the EPSG database (used by normalization code); however, the names enumerated in the various .inc files have not been kept up to date.
