Do a hunt thru the archives and dig out the various posts I mad about
coordinate systems and nested domains.  Essentially I have a model
which allows for recusrively nested coordinate systems with define
border mapping between systems.  It works rather nicely.

I'll try and dig up the relevant posts and re-discuss if there's
