It seems as if the the Graphics3d Object's face_list() returns a list
of 3-tuples or 4-tuples depending upon which plot3d method you call:

implicit_plot3d - returns an array of 3-tuples
[[(1.8974358974358974, -0.5641025641025641, -0.28205128205128216),
(1.9014844804318489, -0.5641025641025641, -0.25641025641025639),
(1.8974358974358974, -0.57692307692307687, -0.25641025641025639)],...]

parametric_plot3d - returns an array of 4-tuples
[[(2.0, 0.0, -1.5000000000000011), (1.9917900138232461, 0.0,
-1.3721228383154951), (1.9475552876659872, 0.93789319526433457,
-1.4891191653269833), (1.9555829421271671, 0.94175910990139589,
-1.6278999850572287)],...]

Is this a bug or as-designed?

I'm still looking for documentation on the face_list format. Is this
all there is? $SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/build/sage/plot/plot3d/
index_face_set.pyx
TIA!

Go!
