Comment(by pgiraud):

 Hi Marc,

 First, thanks for the review.

 I agree that one might expect that what he writes would give the same as
 the original when read back. However, the GPX schema doesn't provide any
 element to manage geometries looking like linearRings.
 So, I had two options :
  - not providing any support for polygon in write mode,
  - or writing polygon in GPX as if they were composed by linestrings.

 I chose the second option given my coworkers' agreement.
