Right. So this can be short-circuited in a pragmatic way by saying
"whatever is supported by proj4 and geos" as Jamey suggested. That's
not necessarily the best answer (in an ideal world we'd have proper 3
dimensional coordinates instead of 2.5) but it's enough to get
started -- it would make Virtuoso a viable alternative to PostGIS or
Oracle for geodata.
