[postgis-users] Lat/Long order of WKT Reader

Hi list,

I am using lat long coordinates in a EPSG 4326 reference system.
Following this post, which really confused me,
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2007-October/017453.html
I wanted to ask, what the intended lat long order of the WKT Reader is?

Is it always POINT (X Y) which means POINT (<long> <lat>) or is the
order defined by the reference system which says lat long and thus
POINT (<lat> <long>) ?

Hope someone could clarify this.

Thanks,
Rico
