I agree. However if you positioned the background image to centre and
it was indeed bigger than the div it would be cropped equally on the
left and right. Kinda pointless unless the containing div is flexible
so that on a big high res screen, with full screen broswer the user
can still see an image. I did that for an old site, see:
http://blakeys.com/mep/about.html
and the header image.
