As promised, and a bit sooner than expected (if at all):
pretty good test points for the double stereographic projection, sterea in 
libproj/proj.

Double stereographic projection
======================

Examples.
My values, compared with (near) official sources.
My values are calculated with a reincarnation of libprojs sterea.
