By the way, I simply don't believe in test sets with millions of random test 
points.
With some mathematical knowledge you know where the asymptotes, 
singularities and other irritating point are. Some tens or hundreds of test 
points around these, coupled with some random test points in all octants of 
the globe, should be sufficient.

Nice!
I've already resolved the lat=90d problem in the inverse (calculation of 
zeta where snv==0 and (cnu==0 or dnv==0) ), but there are probably some more 
problems? I'll stay tuned!
