Comment(by colivier):

 There's several issues here:

 - I don't know now if GEOS guys would want to enlarge geometries handled,
   and then be able to do more than POINT/LINE/POLYGON and their
 aggregates.
   (I've already read JTS topic when Curves support was done, and it was a
 No)

 - If they do, i don't know if it could be done easily or if it better
 worth
   to rewrite the whole thing !

 - I never planned to do such a thing for 2.0, or at least not without an
 appropriate funding (current 3D stuff is done on Oslandia R&D time)

 - Only exception on that is IsValid functions because it's a really basic
 needs (#428)

 - On a more long term concern, we have to thing to a way to support
 topology operations (as GEOS do now) on most/all ISO 19107 types.


 (I keep the ticket open for reactions and thoughts)
