I'd like to ask the PSC and others to vote on adopting RFC 61:
Support for measured geometries.<br>
<br>
The draft RFC is at <br>

and a draft implementation is at<br>

This is seemingly a small change but it is at the heart of OGR so it
has some important implications. The only backwards
incompatibilities that have appeared so far are with some drivers,
for example shapefile, which can be lessened with, e.g., open
options.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Can you explain more in detail about the backwards incompatibilities and how to soften them?
