  Well, that's one way of doing it. The correct way would be reversing the
normal of the plane. The normal should always point outside the plane.

  There's one use for the inverse that I use very often: If you need a
real skysphere (ie. a sky sphere made with a real sphere):

sphere { 0,10000 inverse texture { Sky } }
