Some of these results are anomalies, and some are to be expected.

In all cases, if the quadrature order for the projection operation is
increased, then the computed results are as expected.

For some cases, the prescribed quadrature scheme is not sufficient to
integrate the projection, hence the NaN

Title:
  Projection of x is not accurate

Status in DOLFIN:
  New

Bug description:
  I've tested that projecting x works without the scaling bug that was
  just fixed, using dimensions 1,2,3 and both DG and CG from 0 to 3
  degrees. I print the max and min values of the vector of the
  projection function, and the values are _close_ to 0 and 1 but not to
  machine precision. The script is below.

  There's up to 2.7% error in the 3D case. Is the projection form
  integrated accurately enough? All but the DG0 function space should be
  capable of representing x exactly. Not sure if this is a dolfin or ffc
  bug.
