I've updated my notes on Jacobi's conformal projection of a triaxial
ellipsoid; see
http://geographiclib.sourceforge.net/1.41/jacobi.html
New stuff:
* the limits, ellipsoid of revolution and sphere, are easily obtained;
* the Guyou projection (and hence the Peirce quincuncial projection) are
special cases of Jacobi's projection (which predates both of these);
* Jacobi + Guyou can be used to map a triaxial ellipsoid conformally
onto a sphere.
