 It's not a matter of right/wrong, it's a not (well) documented 
feature. Why should raytracing stick to the possibilitys of 
photography, where it can go beyond?
 Why should a user want a circular image in a rectangle? To have black 
areas to the left and right? Then he is in trouble, the same trouble 
as the user that currently wants black areas above and beneath.
 I can change the documentation to reflect the current behaviour. Maybe 
a warning could be added to POV-Ray that informs the user that should 
set the aspect ratio to 1 if he wants a circular image.
