Comment(by colivier):

 But how could 'Junk KML I'  be a valid KML 2.2 3D Linestring ?
 It just broke the spec.

 I could hear that from your point of view you it's a progress to allow
 some invalid data to also be parsed.
 But from my point of view it's a regress, because we loose the validation
 information.

 Adding a ST_MakeValidKML seems clearly overkill,
 but an extra parameter to ST_GeomFromKML allowing the end user to switch
 from one behaviour to an another could make sense
 at the very minimum printing a NOTICE each time we met an invalid data.




 For Junk KML II, it's was just a sample,
 there's possibly some other use case quite similar
