 They self-intersect. See <http://workshops.opengeo.org/postgis-
 intro/validity.html#section-20-validity>.

 If so, it would be good to have a use case. Thanks.

 OK, I understand. Is an invalid geometry!

 If the geometry is not valid is understandable that can not be add, as
 does OpenJump. But is not understood that stores an invalid geometry and
 which are missing some points.

 Also, this geometry {{{POLYGON((-40 -20, -20 -40, 0 0, 40 -20, 20 -40, 0 0
 -40 -20))}}}
 is successfully loaded. But is also invalid.

 {{{clone}}} method also fails. JS code can be generate invalid geometries
 (self-intersect rings) and {{{clone}}} them lose points. This is also my
 concern.
