A face's `point` lies on it and picks it (its centroid may not: that of a face with a hole is in the hole); a face's `name` picks it for the commands that take faces (`face.delete`, `solid.shell`, `solid.draft`, `solid.offset_face`, `solid.split_face`, `solid.replace_face`, and `face` of `sheet.convert`). |

Agents that don't need the app's chrome can ask for `source: "model"`. |
