you biggest problems will be aesthetic. x itself doesn't care what the aspect
is. it's irrelevant really. the real problem will be with desktop and other
application software making the general assumption of 4:3 ratio and so images
may get stretched a bit wider or tiled when you dont want them to etc. it's all
on a app-by-app, case-by-case basis.
