Sorry to sound offensive but:

 Please do the same for UV-Mapping first, 
then I will slaveshly copy your solution to perform tesselation.
Afterall, UV mapping is present in megapov since so much time...
<Irony off>
Just think about both problem, they are very similar.

To reassure you, I should post soon a tesselation of a sphere in p.b.i.
(Low resolution of tessel, unsmoothed mesh). How many slice do you want ?
Do you have any other fetish object that you (or someone else) would like
to see tesselated ? (you provide the code or the pointer to it !)

P.S.: To really answer your question, Yes I did, and I consider it was
not forth it (adding pre-tesselated primitive) as long as the marching
variant were able to provide a good result. And most mesh are not simple
primitive anyway. With the marching approach, I have a hammer, so everything
is going to be a nail !
(But I have different hammers (6), not just one big universal one...)
