To be correct, this statement should be

For ambiguities that do not reach or cross the poles or cross the  
equator, the border away from the equator is shorter than border  
towards the equator, making it a trapezoid.

Minor difference, but I think the protocol does allow ambiguity to  
reach (but not cross) the poles, and the linear projection of this  
would be a triangle.
