Question Astrolabe for Cataclysm

http://wiki.esamynn.org/Astrolabe

My question is basically, how can I add the new Cataclysm zone data to it? If you look at "Astrolabe.lua" on line 1079 and beyond, you see that each parent (continent ID) has their children zones, where each child contains height, width, xOffset and yOffset.

How I see it is that the height and width are the zone physical dimensions in yards. Not the map "0 to 1.0" float coordinates addons generate. The other thing is a X and Y offset, probably the top-left corner of the zone, relative to the parent continent.

How exactly could I gather the data needed to construct the entries required for the new zones? I think I need to use some other method than the in-game API as it won't suffice...

Any clues?
