Ah, I see that this is the difference between
vtkExtentTranslator::PieceToExtent and
vtkExtentTranslator::PieceToExtentByPoints . This difference is
documented only in a comment in the source. 

There doesn't seem to be a way to choose which method to use in the
vtkXMLStructuredDataWriter. Does the vtkXMLStructuredDataWriter need
this overlap for some reason? It strikes me as wasteful.

I'm in the middle of using the vtkTableExtentTranslator to write a file
in ZSlab pieces without overlap and already the vtkXMLImageDataReader
does a much better job at reading the file. ( I've only written out half
of it so far ( slow ITK filter ) so failing there makes sense. )
