Comment (by strk):

 We agree on NULL as the implementation for "exceptions". We don't want
 real exceptions
 to abort transactions.

 No tolerance Paul. This is really more an ST_makeValid then a
 ST_cleanGeometry (we might
 actually be doing what Kevin suggested in first comment).

 Kevin, about GEOMETRYCOLLECTION you're right, I haven't thought about
 dimensionality
 of COLLECTIONs being given by max dimensionality in collection. But in
 this case
 they would like to avoid collections. If a collection is required to
 express all
 input, it'll be considered an impossible case to resolve (thus NULL).

 I wonder if I'll end up implementing with just 'return NULL' :P
