Description

E.g. for water:

$ curl -s https://stac.overturemaps.org/2026-08-19.0/base/water/collection.json | jq '.extent.spatial.bbox.[0]'
[
  -180.0,
  -86.77666473388672,
  -62.31107711791992,
  32.24882125854492
]

Per the spec:

The first bounding box always describes the overall spatial extent of the data.

So I'd assume that water should be [-180, -90, 180, 90], and the others might be the same or a bit tighter?
