Comment(by slinkp):

 fwiw, geodjango outputs the non-parens formatting, as do both underlying
 libraries (GEOS and GDAL/OGR):

 {{{

 }}}

 As far as I can tell, both GEOSGeometry and OGRGeometry accept either
 variant as input without complaint.

 The upshot is that in GeoDjango you can't currently use openlayers to edit
 existing multipoint geometries; when you load the edit screen, GeoDjango
 outputs the non-paren format and OL displays only one point.

 I have not observed any problems with multipolygon or multilinestring.
