I know what pixel aspect ratios are. All too well, actually?for instance, the square-pixel equivalent of 720x480 widescreen can be either 853x480, 854x480, 856x480, 864x480, 873x480, or 875x480 depending on whom you ask. What fun! I actually attempted to explain this in another thread: <http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-December/024541.html> So, yes, I realize that those dimensions are PAR-compensated. Most users don't, which is why the shorthand form doesn't do them any favors.
