#6075: Extend ST_GetFaceGeometry with a optional srid parameter for geom
-------------------------------+---------------------------

Priority: medium | Milestone: PostGIS 3.6.3
Component: topology | Version: 3.6.x

-------------------------------+---------------------------
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.
