Comment(by colivier):

 No the spec is NOT respected anymore.

 As if you use the same char (space here) for tuple separator AND for
 coordinate separator
 you have no control on what you are parsing (meaning tuples and
 dimensions)



 Few samples:


 {{{
  SELECT 'Valid KML', ST_AsEWKT(ST_GeomFromKML('
                 <LineString>
                         <coordinates>-71.1663,42.2614
 -71.1667,42.2616</coordinates>
                 </LineString>'));

 SELECT 'Junk KML I', ST_AsEWKT(ST_GeomFromKML('
                 <LineString>
                         <coordinates>-71.1663,42.2614, 12 -71.1667,
 42.2616,14</coordinates>
                 </LineString>'));

 SELECT 'Junk KML II', ST_AsEWKT(ST_GeomFromKML('
                 <LineString>
                         <coordinates>-71.1663,42.2614, 12 42.2616,
 14</coordinates>
                 </LineString>'));
 }}}
