Comment (by robe):

 I thought I had it bumped to 1.4.1?  If I hadn't apologize for that.  In
 fact as I discovered the MM specs  don't define
 ST_PointOnSurface/ST_Centroid for anything but Surfaces and MULTISurfaces
 (polygons, multipolygons, curvedpolygons ..).

 I had someone check Oracle -- Oracle goes by the letter on this and does
 not support PointOnsurface or centroid for anything but surface type
 geoms.

 IBM supports centroid but not point on surface for non-surfaces.
 SQL Server 2008 supports point on surface but not centroid for non-
 surfaces.

 So I'm acutally not sure what the expected behavior should be anyway.
