A surface is just a list of vertices and they can be anywhere and could be a line.

I don't believe imposing a restriction would be nice - far better to be able to detect them (if needed).

They do not matter for some models and for some destination file formats. If you are modeling with subdivisions, you can get nice (material like) shapes with non-planar polygons.
