Put that way, I agree, my comment was based around the premise that we
already supported various 'fixed' aspect ratios both historically and in the
OGL work and that the use of them was not up for debate. If we are going to
pre-define them we should cover all the common ones that users will
encounter.

Personally I also prefer the 3 option idea, 'original', 'scale to fit' and
'keep aspect ratio'. That feels more reasonable/natural in the OGL context
and does not get bogged down in the detail too much. You no longer care what
aspect ratio the game/engine is, just that you cycle 3 known visual states.
