I believe in this case the intent was to get the edge'th edge out of the face'th face out of the cell'th cell.
So in your example we get four edges out. cell 0's 0'th face's 0'th edge, cell 0's 1'st face's 1'st edge, cell 1's 2'nd face's 0'th edge, and cell 1's 3'rd face's 2'nd edge. The ordering in each case is defined by VTK. However, in the code (specifically vtkXdmfHeavyData.cxx:1507) it looks like it does exactly as you say. This appears to be a bug. In the Xdmf3 version we do it properly (see vtkXdmf3DataSet.cxx:2205). David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
