This looks like a gordian-knot-breaker... many thanks Martin! I will go 
away and redraft accordingly.

p.s. while we're at it, how about renaming ulx, uly etc as one attribute 
@coords for the "coord-space-definition" sense? a different name reduces 
confusion as well as the amount of typing. Or do we think this would be 
a birnbaum-breaker?
