Frank,
Although I haven't checked it with numerical example yet, you seem to have nailed it. Before really thinking it through I was imagining too many steps to make it feasible for large scale use by human computers but the presence of 90-degree angles and distances simplifies things significantly and would appear to make it a viable approach,
Thanks,
Robin
