Ran across an interesting paper

Anicin, B.A., Davidovic, D.M., Karanovic, P., Miljevic, V.M., and Radojevic, V.
"Circuit Properties of Coils"
IEE Proceedings Sci. Meas. Technol. V144, #5, Sept 97, pp234-239

They go through a fair amount of stuff to try and isolate the self C from 
the C to surroundings.  While they don't come right out and say it, the 
applications to Tesla Coils are pretty clear (especially since they cite 
references from the Corums)
