Hmmm, you're right but you can't blame him when the creators of the  
javascript versions are using the same terminology :

I messed with this style for ages a long time ago and never got the  
results I wanted unless I used flash so I gave up. I like this  
technique but can you get it to magnify from the centre point of the  
image outwards?
Oh no I did use it on something - http://www.redrunner.co.uk/ After  
the first rollover the menu uses the effect i wanted on rollover (it  
warps of to the side slightly the first time). However what i really  
wanted was that they all stayed in the width of their containing div,  
expanded from the centre point outwards, and depending on how close  
you were to the centre, how much the image expanded.
i saw it done by some real wizards, I asked how but they were too busy  
to tell me. Bar stewards.
