Hi,

I've following needs to be fulfilled with OL 2.x

- Be able to read 3d geometries (preferably WKT)
- Be able to retain 3rd coordinate (Z)
- Be able to create new vertices with predefined Z.

I don't need calcs and such to take into account 3rd dimension. I just 
want to retain it and later on when creating new features add a new ones 
with some given Z coordinate (through custom tool).

So far I've found following:

WKT doesn't support it and adding support for 3rd coordinate might work 
by modifying point adding.

GML tries to preserve 3rd coordinate but actually doesn't do that.

All ideas or pointers are welcome.
