Difference in polygon's between SIA2 and ADQL

Hello Everyone,
Reading the description of polygons in ADQL, it links to the description in STC.
http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/cover/STC-20071030.html
That defines a polygon as the points to the left of the edges. In
contrast, in SIA2, a polygon is defined as the region with smaller
area. Was that inconsistency intentional? It complicates our
implementation.
Thanks,
Walter Landry
