Comment:

 darkblueb,

 the point is that it will cause more damage to fix than just let it go.
 Your example is a small table, but imagine a huge table with mixed srids.
 The routine would have to check each record.


 People should not be making untyped geometry tables if they expect an
 typed shapefile to come out of it is my point.  I'm happy to mark this as
 a documentation bug and explain the issue better but don't see the need to
 fix it since it is by design.

 The only exception is with an SQL query which is the case where the
 routine does need to compute it.
