I think that's a bit of marketing BS put out by Canon since they have a wide lens mount. (Canon seems to do a piss poor job designing WA lenses for film most of the time as well so mgo figure). The important thing is to get the light angle correct at the corners and edges. Leica has done this with a their specification for the sensor in the M8. It should be easier to do with an DSLR since the angles are less radical.
