I respectfully disagree with your characterization of the
situation as an ambiguity, since it's consistent among things
that use images.  The real question is why image maps are on 
the x-y plane and height fields on the x-z plane.  I also 
respectfully disagree with your contention that it's 28 
characters... "translate -.5" is only 13.
