The exceptionally good reason is my laziness.
This is some work... (a lot ?)

Keep in mind the zone edge acts as a frontier.
This frontier can be complex and the zone can have holes, if 2 (or more) 
polygons are defined, a polygon inside an other.
So we must keep zone edges, and starting point for filling.

And a refilling zone could have a result which differs from the first 
filling.

Note: currently, the "link" between zone segments is the time stamp, 
which is common to all items of a given zone.
