Decelleration Fuel Cut

Hi List,
            Under what condition is 'decceleration fuel cut' used?  Is fuel
totally stopped to the engine?  How can you tell (via MAP, TPS, RPM
whatever) if the engine is stealing torque(braking - absorbing power) versus
producing torque for either constant speed or acceleration?  Is cutting fuel
always appropriate during engine decelleration? (I'm guessing no, as you
could be decelleration while going up a hill decelerating slower than
gravity would accelerate you in the reverse direction so theres alway a load
on the engine!)

Cheers, Nick Parker.
