Sounds good to me. Is "wkbVariantOGC" the variant currently implemented ? Is 
our 3D support really compliant with an OGC standard ? 
Not really anymore, since SFSQL 1.2 defined OGC into sync with ISO. We’re in 
compliance with the old guidance that was passed and promptly forgotten in the 
period between SFSQL 1.1 and 1.2. Nothing wrong with that, we can call it 
something else (I guess?)

Are you sure about that ? 
Nope, you’re right. The empty support is implicitly tied to the understanding 
that numPoints == 0 means empty and numRings == 0 means empty and numGeoms == 0 
means empty, rather than an IsEmpty() test.

The GeoPackage document actually specifies a representation for POINT EMPTY,  
"In GeoPackages these points SHALL be encoded as a Point where each coordinate 
value is set to an IEEE-754 quiet NaN value”.
