In that case, browsers can expand their <img> support to allow pointing to these kinds of files. They'd need some sort of native controls on the <img> element, I suppose. ------- I remember raising a similar issue with W3C/WhatWG/HTML5 WG circa 2007. At the time I seem to recall language in the spec that said <img> formats (and perhaps by extension) <image> formats in SVG were intrinsically rectangular. Perhaps I'm imagining though. Cheers D
