[Martin Chapman]

Frank,

Thanks for the clarification.  Is there a way to submit a ticket if I
don't have a login?

Best regards,
Martin

Martin,

Is it an omission; however, I will caution that the SRS property on
geometries is not taking very seriously in OGR.  Many drivers neglect to
set it, and there are few methods that utilize it.  If you file a ticket
we can try and fixup the GEOS bindings.

Best regards,
