I see no reason not to do that as "flat" is already the default for the
surfaces.. However, the gnuplot code doesn't respect facecolors other
than "flat" at the moment. As I noted in

http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-anything-else-for-2.9.18--p14169305.html

its one of the issues I'm looking at. John please consider the attached
patch..
