In PostGIS (and probably some SQL/geo standards) "geometry" is a
coordinate system where if you treat it as Cartesian and do
distance/angle calculations you get the right answer.  More or less,
mabe exsctly, "projected conformal"

PostGIS also supports "geography", lat/lon, where distance isn't
Cartesian-distance.

But I see this was an off base comment on my part.

That doesn't come across in the original text at all.  At least I failed
to understand that this was the point.
