You don't have to click inside the poly, you can click "near" (within 
SLOP) to the edge in question,
but if you're inside the polygon you're guaranteed to be close enough. 
Of course you want to click
near the edge the point should be inserted on, whether inside or 
outside. You can be extremely sloppy
on the inside however.
