Yes, that is how they work.  The data is mapped to the screen through
the vtkProp3D transform matrix, and if the matrix is identity, then data
coords == world coords.  Even when you are extracting slices.

That depends on your definition of "stable".  If you are asking whether
the VTK development tree has more bugs, then no, generally it does not.
VTK testing is done continuously by the dashboards.  However, unlike
the releases, the development tree does not guarantee a stable API.
Developers are free to changed their minds about class interfaces or
features in the development tree up until the time that the API is frozen
by a release.
