Description
If you export vector data from QGIS using Layer > Save layer as... and choose GeoJSON as a format the data is exported without a "crs" property.
In my case my data (originally a shapefile) is in Google Mercator, and I chose "Original CRS". I also tested with data in WGS 84 and tried setting the output CRS to something custom, BC Albers, but still no projection definition was written. I confirmed this by looking through the outputted geojson with a text editor and also by calling ogrinfo -so -al <json> and seeing that ogr wrongly reports WGS84 (as assume this is the case because this is the default according to the GeoJSON spec).
I am running QGIS 1.6 on OS X

Hello, bug triage...
this is not the case anymore in QGIS 2.13:
"crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::23030" } },
I am closing this bug.
