Custom vendor format

[Donald Regula, MD]

Hi, Tim-
Interesting idea!
May I request the infrastructure to implement a slight embellishment on 
the server-side?
Many of us use online virtual-slides for testing medical students.
It would be useful to have a mechanism to "shift" the locations in both 
X and Y by moving the origin.
If we randomly changed the origin on the Slide-Server with each session, 
no student could cache that information for the next examinee.
Hope this makes sense.
