[postgis-devel] Geog/Geom Hack

[Paul Ramsey]

I'm interested to know what the general opinion is of the trick I've
used on ST_Buffer(geography):

http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/browser/trunk/postgis/geography.sql.in.c#L541

I ask because I could apply the same idea to the larger suite of OGC
SFSQL predicates before release. Is half-a-loaf better than no loaf in
this case? (Note that there will be failure cases for really large
geometry, like a polygon of "Asia" or "Russia" that have polygons over
the dateline.)
