<p>A possible (slightly contentious) view might be that:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>some people have been complaining about the quality of HOT
additions - sometimes unfounded, because it's more a "new user"
thing thanĀ a "HOT" thing per se.</li>
<li>one of the complaints - perhaps because it's an "easy to find"
problem - is unsquared (or unrounded) buildings</li>
<li>HOT therefore make a big deal about squaring buildings</li>
</ul>
<p>I've never been hugely bothered by it personally - people can
easily square them up later if that's appropriate.</p>
