Not from a guru, but I'll comment.
In both measurement and simulation our group has been able
show that the spreading inductance exhibited by a plane
varies according to the measurement point on the plane.
In particular, you'll find the spreading inductance highest
at the corners (only 2 escape directions), medium on the plane
edges (3 escape directions) and minimum at central locations
(4 escape directions).
These variations in spreading inductance that are a function of
location will also effect the 'driving point impedance' seen
at those same points.
Any real gurus care to expound on the details?
