 Priority:  medium      |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.0

 This one's valid:
 {{{
     # select st_asgeojson('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY'::geometry);
                      st_asgeojson
     -----------------------------------------------
      {"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[]}
     (1 row)
 }}}
 This one's not:
 {{{
     # select st_asgeojson('POINT EMPTY'::geometry);
               st_asgeojson
     ---------------------------------
      {"type":"Point","coordinates":}
     (1 row)
 }}}

 I understand that POINT EMPTY isn't valid as WKB, but that shouldn't
 affect its ability to produce valid JSON. Even it means it comes out as
 MULTIPOINT EMPTY instead.

 The other empty geometry types seem to be fine, only POINT is affected.
