 * The aggregates gather geometric objects. Since they will often use orientation 
35
 * modification, the curve reference and surface references do not go directly to 
36
 * the {@link Curve} and {@link Surface}, but are directed to {@link OrientableCurve} 
37

40
 * Most geometric objects are contained in features, and cannot be held in 
41
 * collections that are strong aggregations. For this reason, the collections 
42
 * described on this package are all weak aggregations, and shall use 
43
 * references to include geometric objects.
