Sorry, I guess I've been working on regionating so long I've forgotten 
there are people who don't know what it is.  Regionating is the process 
of dividing up features in a dataset so that as some client (ie google 
earth) requests maps it only receives information about a limited set of 
features, that fills in as you increase the zoom level.  (This is nice 
for bandwidth-saving and end-user-experience-enhancing purposes.)  
There's some more info linked from the GSIP page now.

Sorry about the confusion here; some info about the different algorithms 
is included as well.  I am not sure whether/how format_options are 
supported for POST requests.  However, I think the typical use-case for 
regionating code will involve a seeded cache (since it is focused on 
making things easy for casual users) so dealing with custom requests may 
be a lesser concern.

This has also been added to the GSIP page.  Thanks for the comments!
