Agreed. The OpenGIS/PostGIS categorization falls into the "I so don't
care" bin of things users care about. So perhaps just a notation in
the definition. I do like that the OpenGIS functions reference their
page / section of the spec. Shame the OpenGIS specs aren't online in
an HTML referenceable form so we could link right into them.
