Since you wrote such a nie "IDV is great" quote I added this facility.

In the ximg format you can now specify all four points of the image
in 3D space with ullat/ullon/ulalt, urlat/urlon/uralt, lllat/llon/llalt, 
lrlat/lrlon/lralt

We will fill in some default values if they are not fully specified. e.g.:
<image  ullat="30"  ullon="-100" urlat="30" urlon="-90" ulalt="5000" llalt="0"  
name="vertical"  url="test.jpg"/>

In the above we define the altitude (in meters for now) of the upper left of
the image to be 5000. The lower left is 0. Since there isn't any alt defined
for the upper right or lower right they default to 5000 and 0 respectively.

Likewise, since the lower right lat/lon and lower left lat/lon are not defined
they default to the lat lon of the upper right and upper left points.

We'll update the user docs on this before we make the 2.1 release but in the 
meantime
this will be in tonights nightly build.
