I'd say they are sharp lines, but that they occasionally cross over into each other. Not quite the same thing in my book.

Well, I'd suggest that those are more like finding a hole in the world or an overlap of them, a portal or gateway that allows one to slip between the worlds.
Glorantha has those too, of course, and as the HeroWars progress the fabric of reality will create even more.
And they exist, but since so many have beendiscovered they are recognized as holy places, often with temples there.
