 Did we ever decide what the answer of this should be.

 SELECT ST_OrderingEquals(foo1.the_geom, foo1.the_geom) As result
         FROM (
                  (SELECT ST_GeomFromText('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY',4326)
 As the_geom )
                 ) As foo1 ;


 In my 1.5 install and gserialized 2.0 install, the answer is:
 'f'

 But in non-gserialized the answer is

 't'

 I've always thought of ordering equals as almost like a binary equality so
 I would expect the answer to be true, but emptiness is such a strange
 thing.
