Ha!... that is a big problem. this force to handle about client side
topo extention problems.
First, i need more than a reverse descriptor in extended topologie
patch, i need the unnormalize position.
Second, Ross is aparently friendly of server side extention in topologie
and absolutly oposed the client side! then i am embarrased to speak
about it now. 
Him prone a super tile concept needing the unnomalized pos too!

in all case, in general, funtion returning coordinated rarely normalize
pos! this is the oposed to today pratice where any part of code return
normal pos.

after saying this, i no see why you need complicate these function.
return a FALSE value were there is very simple to get the nearest real
tile. you need to understand nobody want clic in the black tile! and
return a reverse descripto is only needed (in client side) in function
handling draw prossed (in the Roos concenpt these reversed descriptors
are probably completly useless!)

i am realy disapointed in this point. finaly if you like i can clip the
borders tiles to avoid black space! and speak about this later in
topologies extetion!
