I agree that the above probably case probably
belongs in CSS. The beginning of this thread,
though was discussing things a bit different,
like spherical images or toroidal images. in such
cases though the file format may ultimately be
rectangular, the display device may not be, or if
it is then, we must rely on active controls, like
a panning tool, for the end user to actually
perceive the non-rectangular nature of the data.
In the case of spherical data, as pointed out by
Olivier [1], a whole lot of really nasty script and overlays.
