so yes, with a moments collected thought, I just added the standard svg
header around that svg node and yes, it displays in a browser window
standalone. I can now see that aside from the transform="scale(1,-1)"
there are no other tricky coords going on.. So then I can see that
indeed, many of the points, perhaps even 29 of them, are outside of the
viewing area in some way..
So the question simply becomes why? pre-fetch for better browsing ?..
looks like the span of pts is roughly... double the dimensions ?
or a buffer of 400-500 px worth ?
perhaps this is documented behavior, I just havent read everything yet
