Comment (by strk):

 Here's the WKT of test polygon (reduced):
 {{{

 }}}

 After trying a simplify with a tolerance based on perimeter, which works
 very badly for this reduced case, I think I understood what Vincent was
 saying and I'm going to try that. Vincent, you meant the difference of the
 distance between each of the 2 skeleton edge endpoints and the boundary of
 the polygon, right ?
