Lars,

I believe that WKB is defined in the Simple Features for SQL
specification.  I don't think the existing document includes the
2.5D extensions.  There is a separate document floating around
that covers that.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by EWKB.  There an ISO
SQL MM specification which defines at least a variety of EWKT
that OGC will likely try to align with.  It might include EWKB
(I don't recall).   Of course ISO specs are not normally free.
I got a review copy under the cross agreement between ISO
and OGC.

Best regards,
