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.
