I don't understand the physical concept of 2 separate surfaces with
different areas for a shared interface. The concept of surface is a
convenience anyway. Are you talking about a vdw surface? Then maybe one
could define them separately, though I don't know what meaning one could
assign to it. I think Dave was talking about the loss of surface area on
forming the interface, which is what he defined.
