  Should the rectangle 2 3 X 2 3 considered correct?

Ha, I hadn't considered that one. Although I suppose a zero-area rectangle has
some conceptual appeal, it would result in a contradiction between the
definition of overlap and the sliding rule. Zero-area rectangles should be
considered incorrect input.
