You also have normal data from the original mesh too? Either natively or 
as cross products of the verts? Though a shotgun trace would probably be 
easier.  Then again maybe use a few normals from the mesh as seeds then 
cluster some traces around them?  It also occurred to me that using 
local clusters  you could avoid the Venn Diagram looking situations by 
somehow creating nested patterns instead of averaged...maybe by writing 
to an include file?
