It is common practice to encode missing/invalid data points as NaN, see for example the NaN toolbox for Matlab/Octave (http://pub.ist.ac.at/~schloegl/matlab/NaN/). Having arbitrary base grids would be nice, of course, but certainly comes at a significant performance cost. Ideally there would be a simple implementation with square grids and Nans that propagate through the surface mesh generation (no if/else branches) for missing numbers, and a more complicated plot that can deal with arbitrary grids.
