Hi,
perhaps you are right (I hope surely),

But I'm no so sure of this.
my experience is that the topology is useful to produce a good really
topologic dataset starting from a simple-feature topologically aprossimated
dataset.

So after apply the starting dataset to a topology is often necessary to
remove the
little danlges or slivers that the topology costruction phase (totopogeo)
will evidence.

The standard solution to remove the sliver is to remove the edge that is
born wrongly.
Actually I cannot use the ST_RemEdgeModeFace to remove the edge and so I
don't know how to remove the slivers easily.

The only solution I understand is to to produce a perfectly topologically
and topologically correct dataset "before" to apply it to the topology.
So the postgis topology (I fear) is no so useful in the productive process
of dataset.

Where the starting phase is a topologically approximated simple feature
dataset.
