Review Comment:
Thank you!
If you are going to combine the two definitions, invoking
west/east/north/south is ambiguous (there is no guarantee that any particular
minimum or maximum value of x or y is any particular direction in a Geometry
unless the CRS is a geographic CRS). The mathematical definition I posted above
is unambiguous, or you could keep the previous definition and include your the
current definition only for the case of a geographic CRS (we already require
that the engine can detect whether something is or is not a geographic CRS
because only a geographic CRS can be used with the Geography type).
