I was going to ask a question here but my first draft answered it.
So instead I'll ask if my guesses are correct. <G>

The top left you refer to is SCREEN top left, not polygon ?
Since the co-ords appear to be absolute, you can pick ANY random vertex
as the starting point yes/no ?

And now a question: Does it matter in which direction you proceed ?

I can image a rule system where listing vertices in clockwise order for say,
a 5 pointed star, would produce the star, and listing in the other direction 
would produce a HOLE for a star.
Actually, since this makes it describe more possibilities, this rule system
should be prefereable IMO.
