Yes the coded inversion is needed, for one big reason:
The clipping-ready parts library must be compatible with non-clipping
rendering programs, such as LDraw. So the inversions need to occur in the
real commands, not in the clipping-extension meta-commands.
Now, if you want to talk about having a special version of the parts
library just for clipping-ready renderers, let's go! But in a separate
thread, please.

Seems like there was an echo in here, eh? ;) My earlier reply looked a lot
like yours.
