It would be nice to send a feature into a transformer that would tell you what coordinates systems are valid for that point. ie. State plane North, UTM 15, etc ... and possibly be able to do a reproject on that.

This is a very interesting idea... Would the incoming feature have a coordinate system? Would this be a test if the feature's coordinates are within range of coordinate system properties – i.e. the MIN, MAX values?
Perhaps if there was a way to extract all the coordinate system properties and test against it...?
I gave this a "Fast 15 Minute" attempt – didn't get very far, but my first idea was to test a feature (e.g. 1,1 in LL84) and see if I could reproject into coordinate system abc.

My idea is kinda similar to the UTM Zone Detector, which looks to use max/min of lat/long. I'm ending up using SDE FeatureClass of the boundaries for my solution.
