[geos-devel] predicates precision

[Martin Davis]

GEOS uses the same algorithm for the binary predicates as JTS.

Unfortunately, recently a GEOS ticket was filed that revealed a small 
robustness problem with the predicates in certain Line/Line situations.  
(http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/572).  Currently there's no 
resolution for this problem, but it's being actively researched.
