You could always crop transparencies with silver tape.

I've never wanted to include something not part of the photo or not take a 
picture just because of the shape of an ultimately arbitrary box picked out 
by some engineer.

The guys who have the REAL problem are the television and movie 
photographers  who are locked into a hardware display.
