The problem is that you will find a multitude of examples of bounding boxes that overlap or completely cover each other that could lead to misnamings

If this happens please for the love of god, only give Megawazers the link until we've ironed out any bugs. Shouldn't really publicise such powerful tools :-)

Before you guys get too excited, I don't even have a working prototype yet, and I'm unlikely to find any time to develop it for a while.
