Hello. I stumbled over this ticket out of curiosity. Here my contribution: 1. GeoSPARQL [1], which defines the `geo:wktLiteral` datatype, does not mention the concept of precision. Therefore, the number of digits does not imply any precision (at least not when following the standard). 2. This is similar to the datatype `xsd:decimal` [2], which does not carry any information about precision. The standard states that explicitly and gives an example where 2.0 equals 2.00 (in that space of `xsd:decimal`). 3. Wikibase already handles precision [3] with a `"precision"` field for coordinates and time, and `"upperBound"` and `"lowerBound"` for quantities/numbers. Therefore I'd conclude that the precision-argument alone is not sufficient to justify truncating digits. (There might be other, practical considerations, though.)
