I just came across this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text
I think this page is incorrect, misleading, and contains typos. It is
my understanding that the OGC specs on WKT does *not* include 3D and 4D
definitions. It is a PostGIS extension to use Z, M, or ZM. Or am I off
on this?
(http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=829) (section 3.2.5.2)
I don't have an account to correct this. Does any here have one? Do we
care?
Should the new PostGIS docs reference such pages, or point to only the
OGC specs?
