Comment(by strk):

 If I'm not wrong the geometries resulting from this kind of reduction
 would retain their own GeometryFactory which would point to the default
 (floating) precision model. Can you confirm ?

 There's no direct connection between a Geometry and a PrecisionModel,
 rather the Geometry points to a GeometryFactory which points to a
 PrecisionModel.

 What we're looking for is an API to allow for storing the precision within
 the geometries, so that operations on fixed-precision geometries will be
 carried with that precision. There have been some discussion about this
 for a GSoC project:
 http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki/GSoC/CAPI_PrecisionModel and see also
 needs from Shapely here: https://github.com/Toblerity/Shapely/issues/110
