forward/reverse chromaticity calculation mis-match

Cross-posted to 6 groups.

I am using octave and gnuplot to do chromaticity diagrams

both my sRGB. xy and uv, have mis-matches between the forward and 
reverse methods from wikipedia, the reverse method seems "right", the 
forward method does not reach full on sRGB at primary corners and 
neutral axes

I'll use xy for instance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB

the plots of interest are the last two on this link
http://www.dalekelly.org/octave_gnuplot_xy.html

I used Y=1 on both forward/reverse methods

the forward method I used a range of 0:1 xy and found the xy points in 
the sRGB polynomial, converted to xyY, converted to XYZ, converted to 
linear_sRGB, converted to gamma_RGB, converted to 0:255 RGB. converted 
to sRGBhex

the reverse method I started with 0:255 RGB, converted to RGBhex and 
gammaRGB, converted to linearRGB, converted to XYZ, converted to xyY

I remember reading on http://www.brucelindbloom.com/ that
"If the input XYZ color is not relative to the same reference white as 
the RGB system, you must first apply a chromatic adaptation transform to 
the XYZ color to convert it from its own reference white to the 
reference white of the RGB system."

I'll hack at the reference white, my first guess is the forward method 
needs it, any assistance appreciated
