JTS didn't support 3d when I added it to GEOS, so can't really
serve as a source of information. The 3d task was added driven by
customer needs, so the only working and tested functions was the one
the customer needed. If I recall correctly it was mainly Intersection
and probably Union.

Since other functions are based on the former, there may be side-effects
you wouldn't care about if you aren't using 3d features.

Paul draw the specs about expected behaviour. Dunno if there's a doc
around and I likely lost mine (Oops).
