" The value of the bbox member must be a 2*n array where n is the  
number of dimensions represented in the contained geometries, with the  
lowest values for all axes followed by the highest values. "

Seems to me that this says that a bbox has to be coincident with the  
lowest/highest value, etc., thus you should not be able to have a bbox  
inside that's bigger than an outer, higher level one.

But maybe I'm reading too much into it. It really comes down to a data  
quality issue that would be out of scope for the spec.
