Indeed! Start a thread on grass dev list ?
Keep me in CC is you do :)

Yep, I can't find that mail, but I remember having read it.
The only con I can think of about exposing the GEOS geomgraph is
that it'll then need to be maintained stable :)

But can't really tell you if it makes it possible to associate 
pre-existing topology primitive identifiers to its own structure
(for updates). It'd be an interesting experiment, but personally
I lack time for it.
