You are leaving AspY and AspX out of the maths, and they matter if you
are getting serious at resolution independance. Take for example a
render for computer that you want to rerender for PAL or worse, PAL
16:9 (not HD). The Art and Science of Digital Compositing book has a
demo with a smiley face of what happens if you ingore pixel aspect.
