Yes because i use this convention elsewhere.

Yes correct(p) leads me to a valid state, but i was expected read_wkt to 
return me a valid polygon according to my model.  There is no problem 
with correct (exept perhaps in the documentation but here the function 
does the "correcting" job well).

On the other side i would expect that wkt(p) will return a valid wkt 
polygon but the function seems to make no special traitement for the 
last point;

Thanks and best regards,
