   > Just a note that I don't think this clarification is needed...a Cartesian 
bounding box like the one described here is perfectly legal in for the geometry 
type in GeoArrow's box type, GeoParquet's file metadata, GeoJSON, Parquet 
GeoStatistics, and the current Iceberg spec (even though all of these allow for 
the wraparound case as well).
   
   How does a writer know what bounding box to produce? In all of those specs, 
is it the writer's decision whether to use a purely cartesian bounding box or 
one that wraps around?
   
   What I want to avoid is needing to interpret the CRS to know how to compute 
the bounding box. If writers are allowed to produce a box that is cartesian and 
ignore whether longitude is periodic, then maybe that is fine because it is the 
norm. But my expectation is that this would be determined by the CRS and if we 
wanted to produce a simpler bounding box it would be incorrect without this 
change.
