I think his case is like mine - he doesn't want the image transformed, 
he wants everything else transformed to match the image.

In a way, this is key to your point that treating rasters like scalable 
vectors is very expensive (and maybe ugly) -- so you want to display the 
raster natively, and transform the world coords to match it.

These are my "transformed coords".

The reason I think we may need to expose the transformed coords is that 
  the user may need to define some things in that system, things like 
spacing and widths of lines, and sizes of rectangles, etc.

In general, we'd want to define those things in world coords, but if 
world coords are not linear, you can't do that.

Also can FC support my idea of "paper" coords and Scale to match paper 
to transformed coords?
