I guess I learned my map projections at the knee of the
"pixels are expensive" purists. I am inheriently suspecious
of image warping and any software that wants me to work in
lat/lon space as opposed to projected meter space. The
combination of the two gives me the shivers. I'm willing
to concede, however, that warping an image to a map
projection may be useful in some cases. :-)

Cheers,

David
