Still, besides information about "uneven" horizontal and vertical 
resolutions  not stored within image itself. So designer have to 
remember his image has non-square pixels and to check if "Dot for dot" 
is off. AFAIK there's not built-in mechanism for setting pixel edges 
ratio itself, which, IMHO, makes more sense than "artificial distorting" 
pixels using resolution settings. The same effect, but convenience and 
semantical correctness do differ.

Besides, when I said "non-square" I meant *non-square* per se (hexagonal 
e.g.), not only "rectangular". I don't know what good could come out of 
that, but who knows? It's just interesting, don't you think? :)

My best!
