Dear Shawn,

No, its fine. I see that the changes weren’t as drastic as I thought they’d be, 
so I think that the boundary ID assignment will work out of the box (I’d 
forgotten that someone else had already done much of the work necessary to 
support codim-1). 

I’ve made a patch to add this functionality. See here: 
https://github.com/dealii/dealii/pull/7217 
<https://github.com/dealii/dealii/pull/7217>
Thank a lot for the grids and the minimal test case!

Best,
J-P
