[postgis-devel] ST_Perimeter and ST_Perimeter3D what should Polyhedral Surface return?

I revised the garden test to log timings to a table postgis_garden_log.
Mostly I just wanted to see which functions Polyhedral surface successfully
completes.
If a step is completed without rolling back, the log_end is filled in. I
figure this will be later useful for timings as well.
There are a surprising number that polyhedral surfaces return answers to.
One is ST_Perimeter and ST_Perimeter3D. This just seems to be a sum of the
polygon perimeters.
To me this answer is wrong since I don't think the shared edges should be
included.
Also I noticed for Polyhedral surface, it returns an invalid multipolygon
since edges intersect. Do we care that ST_CollectionExtra can return
invalid multipolygons form a valid collection of polygons?
Thanks,
Regina
