I will put the current version on my site by this weekend.  Some corrections 
may have escaped due to my occasional  sloth.  My apologies in advance.

What do you mean by "every function."  In term of precision of functions that 
depends upon what the function is returning.

What would be nice is for certified sample computations for all known grid 
systems.  Now that would be a *great* contribution.

In terms of forward projection precision, many sources only publish to the 
centimeter and I think someone on the list claimed that 100nm was sufficient 
for some applications.  Anyway ... .

On occasion, I think some get a little carried away with precision.  ;-)
