CRS management efforts

Hello, I'm very new to this library but wanted to offer a suggestion after watching the FOSS 4GPU presentation.

There's some ongoing discussion of the best way to performantly manage CRSs to allow for performant reads of cloud optimized data formats here: gjoseph92/stackstac#50
and here: https://gist.github.com/sharkinsspatial/f1c3a8f871b58416fa30c377178b5f9c

I'm not familiar with all the technical internals, but I get the sense that there is interest (within my company at Development Seed) and among others in those threads to develop a separate library for CRS management that abstracts out the relevant parts of the rioxarray library into a new geoxarray library. It might be something to pay attention to (even contribute to?) so that cuSpatial doesn't reinvent the wheel for CRS management.
