<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; world class boundary crosses<br/>
 </span></blockquote>How can you tell if the boundaries cross? Is it by the numbering of<br/>
the monuments?<br/>
Because in general I find the notion of crossed boundaries a little<br/>
odd. If I am walking clockwise around H1 in Baarle with Baarle-Hertog<br/>
on my right, it seems strange to be suddenly walking around H2 in an<br/>
anticlockwise direction with Baarle-Hertog on my left. I&#39;d rather not<br/>
reverse the intrinsic vector of my boundary, and would prefer to<br/>
bounce off the shared point to circumnavigate H2 clockwise too,<br/>
keeping Baarle-Hertog on the right.<br/>
In fact, I&#39;d rather ignore the monument numbers and accept a universal<br/>
rule that:<br/>
Widdershins (anticlockwise) = entity always on left<br/>
Deasil (clockwise) = entity on always on right<br/>
With this scheme, you can circumnavigate H1 with or without H2, and H2<br/>
with or without H1. Without it, you end up doing sneaky<br/>
figure-of-eights and shifting your entity from left to right.<br/>
