However, if there is a general feeling that a sphere primitive with an even distibution of triangles is a far better option, I'm prepaired to withdraw my submission (made August 22th) in favour for a 4 decimal places version the primitive (...)

(...) I think these should have 4 decimal places, as with the majority of the circular primitives. The reason for this is that there is often a need to use 3DPs in parts. Where these include circular primitives and scale them up by a factor of 10 (...) (26 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
