I can not understand your complaints. I put your two dimensional setting 
into an (three dimensional) isosurface, only. Nothing more. Where is the 
problem?

I think And means that the pattern remains oriented to the y-axis (his 
"planar napping") instead of conforming to the surface of the sphere 
(spherical mapping?).
