The issue is in choosing an external format for LINE which does not lose
precision during dump/reload. Internally, LINE is described by a formula
which is likely subject to problems with limited precision for some line
orientations.
Does anyone have a suggestion (perhaps drawn from another GIS package)
for representing lines? We already have this implemented internally, and
the algorithms are used to support other data types; the only unresolved
issue is in how to input the values.
