Comment (by robe):

 Yah I don't think we should force a make valid.  The other issue with make
 valid aside from it adding overhead is sometimes the geometry that comes
 out of it is not what you wanted and when you start unioning something
 that is not what you thought you had, bad things happen.  You end up with
 geometry types you weren't expecting yada yada.  I think it's best to just
 leave it up to the user and have it fail so they know something is wrong.
