Comment (by strk):

 > Shouldn't the ''ZMSgeoms'' start converging again to the WKT specs?

 Specs are meant to be references, changes to them are not to be
 allowed. Rather, you'd end up with a _new_ reference (like a new
 version of the spec) while still needing to support to old one.

 > Only reason to keep them currently is the inclusion of the SRS, right?

 And backward compatibility.
