Description
This is a related ticket to #923.
As Mike noted, we broke backwards compatibility with
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(EMPTY).
— this used to be legal in PostGIS 1.5 and below but in 2.0 now throws and error SELECt ST_IsEmpty('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(EMPTY)'::geometry);
— FWIW GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(EMPTY) is illegal in SQL Server as well and GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY works fine.
Is this an intentional break or an accidental one? If so as Mike states we should document that as a break. Not sure if it really affects anybody though.

Sure, can document break… I doubt it affects anyone.
