-------------------------------+---------------------------
 When using ST_Transform on simple feature surface objects, we may end up
 with tiny gaps and overlaps. This is especially visible in cases with a
 low point density, such as the one described here:
 https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/6071
 One possible solution would be to add an optional parameter to
 https://postgis.net/docs/ST_GetFaceGeometry.html
 that specifies the SRID of the output geometry.
 With this approach, each individual edge could be transformed before
 assembling the surface geometry, rather than transforming the final
 surface as a whole. This should reduce the risk of introducing small gaps
 or overlaps caused by projection distortions.
