Trying D3, and have some issues. Not sure what is the best way to endure coordinate system. Please find the source below.
EDIT: Fiddle here
I simulated the inverted coordinate by yScale -> .range([ height - padding, padding]); Instead of .range([ padding - height - padding]); . Is this the best way. If all the objects in the svg needs to be correctly oriented, is it best to apply to the outermost element?
var svg = d3.select("#chart").append("svg")
.attr("width", width + margin.right + margin.left)
.attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.append("g") <---
The bigger rectangle ({"X":100, "Y": 100, "W":40, "H": 40}), is outside the axis. So, I am doing something wrong.
Any help to make this graph to contain within the axis, with proper scaling and orientation is highly appreciated.

Re 1.: yes, that is the best way.
Also note that D3 will not save your bacon when you 'flip' a scale like that and then feed widths into it, which will come out negative: when using those for SVG height attributes, those will be flagged as illegal SVG content and the browser will barf a hairball (not show what you want).
Re 2.: once you have corrected your negative widths / heights, then you can prevent 'plotting outside the area' by wrapping your s in a clipping rectangle; this can be done by placing them in a separate group, which is then assigned a clipping rect matching your output area.
For #1, see also in reply to your question to the mailing list:

has all bugs fixed and showing a proper rect.
Style issue: your code would only have worked with a linear axis as you convert width and height via a single call to xScale/yScale instead of calculating the absolute coordinates in domain space first, then convert both via scale to calculate the width / height in output space. To show that the new approach works in log space too, here's a copy of the above gist using log/log scales instead:
http://bl.ocks.org/3671592
The code is 'rough' in that all calculations are explicitly done and no 'invariants' are moved outside the .attr() calls: x1/y1/x2/y2 get calculated several times as each .attr() needs two of them. This sort of thing is usually 'solved' by setting up the data (precalculating / sorting / swapping / whatever is needed) before feeding it to d3.selection.data().
Lesson learned: you need to do more work to be completely scale agnostic when working with SVG; if you want faster code instead, you need to prepare your data so that the output will produce valid SVG (here: 'processed' input = [{X:80,Y:80,W:10,H:-60]]), in particular positive values for width and height (or similarly x2 > x1 and y2 > y1 for )
