I'd like the grid lines to exist /within/ the sphere, as well as on the surface.
Currently, if I cut a corner away from the sphere, the cut-away portion is
completely opaque (dark green in this case, black if I use Trevor G Quayle's
code).

It's a personal request. I'd like to replace the SVG image with a nicely
rendered one, as the SVG image was removed from an article for being "too ugly"
(kind of a stupid reason to remove a diagram from an encyclopedia, but
anyway...).
