Folks,

we noticed that, despite the use of ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology, non-adjacent polygons may overlap; this happens when there is a long and narrow water body of between them (think of a fiord), but this body is not itself a polygon.

To solve this issue we came up with the idea of adding an "universe polygon"; that is, a polygon that enclose the entire extent of a table, so that every polygon has a left and right polygon: would this do the trick ?
