It is also defined on 'MultiSurface', which has 'MultiPolygon' as a 
child. Basically, any two-dimensional object should have a centroid. The 
'MultiSurface' definition notes that Centroid() return 'The mathematical 
centroid for this MultiSurface. The result is not guaranteed to be on
this MultiSurface.'
