I am wondering this part:
 
"GEOS methods are still used in some cases, but with the following
limitations - a Triangle is converted to a Polygon with one exterior ring;
Polyhedral Surfaces and Triangulated Surfaces are converted to
MultiPolygons?. (each Triangle in a Triangulated Surface is converted to a
Polygon as described previously)"

Does it mean presenting a TIN with two triangles as something like



As far as I know such multipolygon is not valid accorfing to the Simple
feature specification where "boundaries and may touch at only a finite
number of Points". Valid presentation would probably be to wrap polygons
into GeometryCollection. Is GEOS used in a relaxed way so that shared parts
of boundaries in MultiPolygons do not throw an error?
