[postgis-devel] Minimum number of points in a POLYGON ring?

[Paul Ramsey]

Right, which is why I think the *parser* should not be involved in
validity checks of any kind. If we want validity tested, adding an
isValid check to shp2pgsql would allow us to both ensure only clean
data gets in and that a useful report gets written out. And we could
also add a non-check path that simply didn't run isvalid.
