Description:

I think that the information on points should contain a sentence like this:
"Order is Longitude, Latitude - so if you plot it as the map, it is (x,
y)."

Well, as I remember, our geometric types don't know anything about
longitude or latitude. PostGIS does handle this, but it is a separate
