My vote 

Add SRID to ST_Point(x,y) -- you can keep existing or overload.  Overloading
with another that has srid not optional would be more backward compatible.
That's the one I use and that most people should be using as it's shorter to
type and name wise is listed in SQL/MM.

Introduce a 

ST_3DPoint(x,y,z, srid) -- wholly new so no chance of breaking existing, and
fits our convention of ST_3D in front of 3d functions
ST_3DMPoint(x,y,m, srid)

As mentioned in IRC that extra  Make in ST_MakePoint seems so superfluous.

Thanks,
Regina
