Mark,
Is it possible to create a ST_GeomNoCheck(...) or something function
that doesn't do quite so much checking so that at least during loading
we can give people the option to use that one instead of just rejecting
what we don't like.

I like the idea of checking, but think its important to allow people to
shoot themselves in the foot too if they are experienced foot shooters
or really want to :)
