ummm...there is some plans about future releases to work with not alignment

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that inputs to mapalgebras
be on the same alignment. I do thing that utilities for re-sampling
whole tables need to exist to that it's possible to run full analyses
inside the database, but I think requiring alignment for mapalgebra
will solve more problems (in terms of people getting the results they
"expect") than trying to plaster over it with automagical code.
I m not sure If i understand you because of english but what Im 100%
sure is that any person who has made raster spatial analysis with real
data knows that map algebra must work with raster with different
alignment as other software do. The normal thing if I have raster layers
from different sources is that they dont have same alignment, as I said
so for any raster software that I know can work with these kind of data,
thats why Im guessing PostGIS raster is working with pixels and not with
terrain coordinates (but maybe Im wrong).
Please dont think in a computer science expertise way and think as if
you were a geographer who just want to mix two raster layers and dont
mind if they layers have same alignment or not. Otherwise people are
going to keep using sextante, arcgis, grass, etc. instead of PostGIS Raster.
