WKBWriter 3-dimensional output does not work with SpatiaLite

[hrstka]

Setting the high bit of the wkbType word in case of 3D geometry does not work with SpatiaLite. According to wikipedia the presence of 3D coordinates should be indicated by different geometry type code (e.g. 2D point is 1 and 3D point is 1001).

Yes, the WKBWriter is still outputting the old PostGIS EWKB format, rather than the current ISO/OGC standard WKB format. (Note that the WKBReader supports both formats).

It seems like the way forward is to enhance the WKBWriter to output ISO/OGC standard, with the old format left as an option.
