Building a bridge with Ice arrows through the mighty lava lake in hell isnt easy... I used like 400 arrows for that bit of a bridge there.

Btw, get the elemental arrows & obby tool mods, they're uber cool. But don't use them in smp as they'll not work.
The system makes a large dome over your portal in the netherworld. Even if you made a portal that would in theory be in solid blocks, it would lead you into a constructed dome as a sort of anti-error mechanism.
If there were no blocks however, the system would still deploy a set ammount of randomly generated landscapes to ensure you arrive on a solid platform.
If your wondering how to map the netherworld, heres a solution.
One block in the netherworld = 16 blocks in the Overworld.
If you have been placed in random area when entering the netherworld, make sure to bring a compass!
Go back to the overworld, you should be in a random area the first time as well (Unless your really lucky to end up in an open area.)
Then go back, look at your compass, and detirmin which way your spawn is and how far your house is from your spawn.
Go back to the netherworld and go in the direction in which the compass pointed to when you were in the overworld.
Now it's time to dig. Dig in the direction in which the compass pointed to, but don't dig too far since it's 1:16th the distance.
Then keep repeating until you get a portal right by your house or spawn!!

Imagine that the gate you make in the Real World has coordinates. The game tries to make a the second gate in the Nether using those coordinates. But the game defines it as unfit. "Unfit" could be anything from being over a sea of lava to being inside of a wall. The game then moves it to a 'fit' place. When you re-enter that portal, it creates a portal with the same coordinates in the Real World.
End result: Two portals in the Real world that both lead to the same portal in the Nether.
Now I have to wonder... if you hacked your Nether file to be solid block, where would your Nether portal spawn?
