Re: Annotate an image fragment inside a html page

Hi Raphaël,
I'm Giulio Andreini, a colleague of Susanna from Net7.
We work a lot in the field of Digital Humanities and there are two very
common cases where a box rectangle is a huge restriction when we need to
define an image fragment:

 - *Manuscripts*: we often need to define a part of a page in a manuscript
and since it is hand written a rectangle is not enough (please see attached
image *Manuscript-example.jpg*)
 - *Engravings*: we work a lot with engravings and our clients often need
to select very complex areas on the image (please see attached image
*Engraving-example.jpg*).

I hope this clarifies two very common use cases (at least for our
experience).
Cheers
