Yes, I know... but I don't like that, because if I have to write
into a DB "owned" by someone else, I may not be able to do that.
Or more often I will simply forgot to...
Also I have to write into Oracle too, and in that case I won't be able
to do that so, to keep me "simmetrical", I prefer not to do it here too...

Obviously I have simpler requirements than you, so I didn't considered
(and I have no reason to) all these aspects...
Anyway the fact all geometries from the same Postgis table have
the same SRID, may be enforced, if needed, at the DB side
(with a CHECK constraint or something).
The Parser may have a similar parameter to specify the desired behaviour.

...yes, as I said I have simpler requirements, so I'm sorry 
I didn't considered this either...
