I already defined the criteria. The algorithm is trivial.

It may be easier to do something with the data, but whatever you do with
wrong data will be a mess in the end. We'd better keep our data straight and
leave it over to application developers to decide what to do with it.

Yes, I think that the outline should enclose the whole bridge.

Please don't talk of quality when condemning correctness.
