describing a border - of any shape - by the use of a collection of

coords (at whatever precision) is a totally different task then
defining an individual point and its precision.

would perhaps be better to have the capacity to describe a polygon.
They aren't mutually exclusive, which is why I suggested separating
polygons into a separate thread. There is an HTML way to express 2D
polygons in image maps, so what we would need is a way to georeference
the imagemaps to translate these back to earth-based co-ordinates.
For imagery in lat-long space, or for close-in zooms, just specifying
the lat/long of the corners would be adequate; for other projections
such as Peterson, Roberts or Mercator, you may need to specify the
transform with more care, if trapezoidal interpolation give significant
distortion.
