Semantics of polygon points - How to join the dots?

The question arise from reading the standard "OGC® Sensor Planning Service Interface Standard 2.0 Earth Observation Satellite Tasking Extension", that you can get from http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sps (Although, I think it is more general and also applies to kml standard too).

Suppose I receive a Polygon expressed in terms of WGS84 UTM latitude longitude points, how should I interpret that set of points? I mean, how should I build the polygon from the points?:

  1. Should I use straight lines in the lat lon plane (linear interpolation between points in the lat lon plane)?
  2. Should I use great circle curves to join contiguous points?
  3. Must this be explicitly specified in the interface?
Specifically, I'm asking about the RegionOfInterest class that contains a Polygon class in page 31 of that standard.
