RE: [Fwd: Re: non-rectangular images & <img> tag]

So, in your circle.svg file, do you have a solid circle? Or do you have a rectangle with a hollow circle?

   I would say so. In fact, I'd like to see something like this:

   This would allow you to use the alpha values from images and and SVG
files to perform cropping of both images and other content.
