I agree that imagination and creative thinking is a good thing as
PostGIS did improving the standard (not following it) many times.
But we are not talking about that now.
ST_StartPoint, ST_EndPoint, ST_GeometryN, etc. dont have an homogenous
behavior, and others functions either.
If you guys are changing a lot of things in PostGIS 2.0 (what is really
nice), why you dont try to use
a homogenous approach to these kind of functions? I dont mind if
following the standard or not but my opinion is that PostGIS team
should chose one side. If not we users are going to need a memo with
every function to know what is the expected behavior because it does not
follow any pattern, it means PostGIS is less easy to use than it could be.
Anyways this is just an opinion that I wanted to share with you.

Right, non-brain-dead behavior should be our default. Silly that we
have st_npoints that works and st_numpoints that doesn't.
