Thanks for the idea. There are many different serializations, some of
which are listed below, each with their own qualities, which can be
good or bad with a very strong dependency on context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data_serialization_formats
Should we see about making a more flexible serialization
infrastructure? What we have is mostly /ad hoc/, and has already
caused real pain to the PostGIS folks, this even after some pretty
significant and successful efforts were made in this direction.
Cheers,
David.
