The part I found confusing was how for some of the curve types with sub-geometries, the parse_wkb() function was called recursively. Now from the examples in the HTML documentation, I could see that not all of the constituent parts of the new curve types had the constraints you mentioned above - hence the check is a little bit "loose" at the moment.

problems; there's no reason to hold the release on it.
