 The deformation operation takes cartesian coordinates as input and
 returns cartesian coordinates as well.
 
 Corrections in the gridded model are in east, north, up (ENU) space.
-Hence the input coordinates needs to be converted to ENU-space when
+Hence the input coordinates need to be converted to ENU-space when
 searching for corrections in the grid. The corrections are then converted
 to cartesian PJ_XYZ-space and applied to the input coordinates (also in
 cartesian space).
 
-A full deformation model is described by two grids, one for the horizontal
-components and one for the vertical component. The horizontal grid is
-stored in CTable/CTable2 and the vertical grid is stored in the GTX
-format. The NTv2 format should not be used for this purpose since grid-
-values are scaled upon reading. Both grids are expected to contain
-grid-values in units of mm/year in ENU-space.
+A full deformation model is preferably represented as a 3 channel Geodetic
