[edit] More than two goods?

This article does an excellent job of explaining corner solutions for optimization problems with two goods; however, doesn't the interpretation change slightly when we're dealing with a bundle of more than two? The utility function can deal with numerous goods, many of whose optimal quantities may be 0. In more than two dimensions, many of these will be corner solutions (when taking the goods two at a time as is the interpretation in this article). I would suggest mentioning something about this or making it explicit that this interpretation of corner solution is designed to be used for only two goods (which is already somewhat implicit in the explanation).
