Hmm, not bad - that is, at any stage that the imagery has been moved
from its default position, there would be a subtle but visible
indicator? That fits in pretty well with our underlying goals with
True Offset, to make sure no mapper traces without realising that
alignment is sometimes wrong, must be considered and can be changed.

That suggestion, of course, would need to be taken up by the authors
of each editor.

Cheers,
