<DT>1.
<DD>The spherical coordinates are longitude (+ve anticlockwise
looking from the +ve latitude pole) and latitude.  The
Cartesian coordinates are right handed, with the <I>x</I>-axis
        at zero longitude and latitude, and the <I>z</I>-axis at the
        +ve latitude pole.
  <DT>2.
<DD>If V is null, zero A and B are returned.
  <DT>3.
<DD>At either pole, zero A is returned.
