some of the `.wkt` files here taken from the EPSG database are malformed, the file content is not WKT
https://github.com/JuliaEarth/CoordRefSystems.jl/blob/ae9c4d5e038e36761a0516db53a62d4237d84172/artifacts/epsg-wkt2/EPSG-CRS-5614.wkt#L1
That is interesting. The EPSG.org website has the following entry for the code:
https://epsg.org/crs_5614/KOC-WD-depth-ft.html
It is a 1-dimensional coordinate system with a single vertical coordinate in feet. Historically, 3D coordinate systems (with vertical coordinates) have been ill-modeled in software, which probably explains the lack of WKT for this one.
We should probably throw an informative error message if this is not the case already. I wonder if there are many instances of these commited in the repo, that could justify a cleanup in our artifacts/update.jl script.
Possibly this should be reported to epsg.org.

In the entire database:
- Four CRS definition files have the above error message as their entire content
- EPSG-CRS-5614.wkt
- EPSG-CRS-6358.wkt
- EPSG-CRS-8051.wkt
- EPSG-CRS-8053.wkt
- one
ConcatenatedOperation(not commited here to the repo) definition file has the error message appear withinTARGETCRS:- EPSG-ConcatenatedOperation-7987.wkt
Possibly this should be reported to epsg.org.
We could gather more information, but this may be intended given the limitations of widely used software.
- EPSG-CRS-5614.wkt
- EPSG-CRS-6358.wkt
- EPSG-CRS-8051.wkt
- EPSG-CRS-8053.wkt
All these occurrences fit the same "single vertical coordinate model", which is a good sign in a sense.
