I don't see that Indonesia is a special case. Indeed it is a good example
of the east-west subduction zone asymmetry emphasised by John Milsom. The
continentally-attached Sunda Trench off the western margin of Sumatra links
via the east-west Java trench to the detached and arcuate east-facing Banda
Arc.
