Hmm. Wouldn't it be like an extreme case of "freezer burn"? The water freezes right away, but slowly disappears (evaporates? sublimates?) and you're eventually left with the dried-out fibrous parts?
In which case, yuck. Who wants a universe littered with unwrapped, freeze-dried mummies?
Even though I can imagine Servalan saying "I think of myself as the Environment Supreme Commander" somehow I don't think the Federation's environmental protection regulations are all that tough.
If I die in space, launch my corpse on an intercept course with a star or a planet with an atmosphere. Better to go out in a flash of flames, imho.
Some say the world will end in fire, And some in ice...
