I'm whipping up some code for OpenJUMP that allows for the parsing and
input of survey point data. These points are typically stored in a
delimited text file and are the result of data collection with a total
station, GPS receiver, or laser scanner. A single point usually
includes the following fields:

- Point Number
- Northing
- Easting
- Elevation
- Description

The code is fairly simple, but does include the ability to extract a
feature code and linework code from the full description. It also
provides a low-level reader/parser and a standard way to represent
this type of object. It wouldn't be hard for client code to easily
create simple feature objects from my low-level code, and the OpenJUMP
plug-in will be an example of how to do this.

Is there any interest in having the low-level code as an unsupported
module in Geotools?

If it isn't a bad fit I will take care of a couple loose ends on the
GPX module so I can start work on this module.

Please let me know what you think.
