Well, I'm thinking about this now, too, and I'm just
thinking out loud, but I wonder if this is only important
if your input coordinates have already been projected
onto some kind of map projection. In which case, maybe
you could project them back into UV coordinates, do
the gridding there (without the dread SPHERE keyword
set), and then reproject them back to lat/lon coordinates.

Just an idea. I'd like to hear from someone with more
experience with this.

Cheers,

David
