GeoJSON is not TopoJSON. Saying that is "falling down" is like criticizing a zebra for not being a giraffe. GeoJSON is a mapping of the (non-topological) "simple features" model into JSON, full stop. It does that fine.

Yes, the same "slivers" problem occurs when you try to simplify features in any format that uses individual polygons, such as shapefiles or whatnot. That's the only case I was referring to.

I don't think I would trust a zebra or a giraffe for this task either.
