Comment (by pramsey):

 Reading through WKTReader, it seems like the general goal is to promote
 the dimensionality of a given CoordinateSequence to the highest
 dimensionality encountered in the sequence. That doesn't seem to match the
 behaviour of the polygon case though, nor the new behaviour of the
 linestring case. In any event, the current model sort of sucks since it's
 possible to make a POLYGON with mixed dimension rings, or a
 multilinestring with mixed dimension members. Also you can make a
 linestringz with 2d coordinates, because the dimensionality tag is mostly
 ignored. (Not always).
