I don't think it's a duplicate.
If I can switch alphaP and phiP, then psSphereTransformICRSToEcliptic() is
exactly the same as psSphereTransformEcliptictoICRS() since alphaP and phiP are
0.0. Is that true?

Oh, I neglected to mention that the sign of delta_p is switched.
It works on my prototype.

Okay, I'll switch alphaP and phiP and I'll switch the sign of deltaP.
I really think we have to include this type of information in the ADD. Email,
bug reports, and personal conversation are certainly helpful, but they tend to
be forgotten months later when one tries to modify the code.
This actually happened this past week when I was changing the names of the
psSPhereTransform members. I could not find any documentation for the
algorithms I had coded in the current version of psCoord.c.
