I was going to be focused on  the data structure / factory / builder
relationship. And should be able to grab a WKReader and try the test
cases from JTS. Sample data was not really discussed as of yet.

The idea is to have a separate package for implementation; not sure I
want to have a maven multi project at this stage.

No factory spi; I already discussed avoiding interfaces/factory but
the group wanted to stick with the split so that is how we are going.
