Seems like the current method would tend to place the point near the
most complex part of the boundary.  This may not be bad, I would have
to see lots of real examples to be sure.

Anyway there are no easy (or even any difficult!) methods that work in
all cases, so I would just keep it as it is and perhaps should the 
calculated point be outside the box, move it to the closest point
inside.
