Ok.

Ok, so that allows for curved surfaces handled from the outside?
Does that mean "double * facet_normals" is an array of size num_points *
gdim?

I'm still not quite happy with an unused pointer facet_normals in the
interface
for non-facet custom integrals. A custom_facet_integral with the
facet_normals
argument would both fix that and allow better error checking in ufl.

Great, I have some ideas but don't know how your code fits together in
detail.
Something to discuss in Paris :)
