Hi Paul,

no, there's no support for ISO WKB yet. We still stick to 
http://home.gdal.org/projects/opengis/twohalfdsf.html

I can imagine we could have exportToISOWkb() method in OGRGeometry*. Or we 
could add an extra boolean argument bISOWkb to the existing exportToWkb(). Not 
sure about WkbSize() : does the size of ISO WKB blobs differ from the unofficial 
WKB ?
