Hi Tim,

Yep that's exactly what I was thinking, and the patch works great.

Thanks,
Simon

I agree.  This is weird.

Since WKT is about geometries (and doesn't have a place for feature 
attributes), I made it read and write geometries (in the OpenLayers
sense).

However, I agree that the serializer/deserializer should deal in 
features - since people should seldom be dealing with geometries 
(especially collections of geometry) in OpenLayers.

I've created a ticket and patch that changes the behavior of the WKT 
format.  If approved, wkt.read() will return a feature or array of 
features and wkt.write() will take a feature or array of features.

Let me know what you think,
Tim
