The whole extent is CRS specific; anything relating to the Extent will have to be in that CRS, and users of the extent should know the CRS of the extent if they are trying to combine it with other things, either by knowing implicitly that all the geometries they are working with are in the same CRS, or explicitly by holding onto CRS instances, and reprojecting where necessary.

The other day, on gitter:
Me: Alright, I'm digging into the relationship between projections, layout definitions, and extents.
@echeipesh : That sounds like a title of an excellent doc page I wish we had.
