Sounds fine to me... I can do this later, unless someone else wants to take
care of it first.

Also, going back to my negative jacobian issue: I realized that this
element is actually not affine. So it seems like John's comment could be
right, i.e. that the jacobian is negative at at least one of the quadrature
points, and that Cubit doesn't pick this up because it's not testing the
jacobian at the same points.
