+1. This looks like a definite improvement.

I know it is outside this proposal, but do you see a future for Geotools 
in true-3D-geometry-land? Would this require extension of JTS, or a new 
geometry library with complete 3D support?

Consulting with a knowledgeable stakeholder yielded these examples of 
interesting 3D geospatial data:
- 3-D line-string (wells and boreholes, atmospheric and ocean soundings)
- TIN (geological horizons)
- Tri-surface (other geology surfaces)
- Solid whose shell is a tri-surface (ore-body, grade-control-surface)

What could we support?
