I have updated:

    www.polyarc.us/adjust.js

It now has two inverse functions, XYToLL & LLToXY, to do the Mercator
projection trig.

Pamela has added clarification in another thread:

I am planning a simple demo.  You will be able to add a group of
markers rather than each marker individually.  It will build the
"rollover" / "click" grid for you.  It will convert from Lat/Lon
coordinates to pixel offsets for you.  It will automatically
reposition according to zoom level.  It will automatically cluster &
clip for each zoom level.  It will give you color choices & the
ability to use square DIVs rather than images.
