    Thanks for taking the time to check this. Given the care with which
    gdal is maintained and it's foundational position in the GIS world,
    I would have been surprised if it was not conformant to the
    standard.<br>
    <br>
    I used the same utility you found and got the same results, which is
    what triggered the exchange with the developer of the PHP shapefile
    library. I will pass on this information.<br>

      I've also inspected the provided ESRI Shapefile layers and it

      for PointZ PolyLineZ Shapefile types and are correctly displayed
      even using ESRI ArcMap 9.3.1.
      <br>
      <br>
      The ArcMap tool to validate the geometries and the ShapeChecker
      utility, recommanded by ESRI, didn't find any error in such
      layers.
      <br>

      David, what online utility have you used? I've uploaded
      driveway_points[.shp|.shx|.dbf] to
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.litchiutilities.com/shapefileToCsv.php">https://www.litchiutilities.com/shapefileToCsv.php</a> and while it
      generates 2 warning messages* it also nevertheless creates the
      requested CSV file.
      <br>
      <br>
      Regards.
