Sounds like an excellent idea to me. Re: generic collections. Well I think there are real world examples but because most software is useless at handling mixed geometry, modellers automatically abstract into multiple geometry classes and then battle to maintain topological correctness. Anyone dealing with active seismic knows of the hassles in maintaining shotpoint location features (a point and line object) in GIS software. I believe city modellers battle similar issues with water/tap, power line/pole/transformer geometries.
