Which two point values? LINE is handled as an equation, not as points,
unlike the LSEG type which has two points.
One possibility is to have the external representation *be* the same as
LSEG, then convert internally. Then we need to decide how to scale those
points; maybe always using a unit vector is the right thing to do...
