Circling back to this - for an upcoming article, I am planning to document some examples on how the complex geometry is useful. The case might be stronger if the bbox looks different from the geometry polygons. A few candidates I might use:
U.S. Air Force. (2016). Aeronautical Planning Charts: Iran AP-12. U.S. Air Force. Available from: https://geo.btaa.org/catalog/camel-1015121- shows how a map warps over a large area
Hondius, Hendrik, 1597-1651. Appendix Atlas of the British Isles and Northern Europe, Jansson, Jan, 1588-1664. Appendix Atlas of the British Isles and Northern Europe, Mercator, Gerhard, 1512-1594, Vignaud, Henry, 1830-1922, former owner.. (n.d.). Anglesey; Garnesay; Wight olim vectis; Iarsay; Per Gerardum Mercatorem.; Title on verso: Isles d'Anglesey Wight Jarsay et Garnesay. Available from: https://geo.btaa.org/catalog/c8b46b52-0846-4abb-ba56-b484064f84ac - This pages has 4 inset maps on one page
For complex geoms, we could style the bbox like so:
We have a lot of control here: color of the line, solid vs. dashed, etc. In the screenshot above, I've made it a dashed line with the same color as the geojson polygon.
The second example.
Looks good.

The map inset will show both the geometry and the bounding box. If they represent different shapes, they appear on top of each other. Example: https://geodev.btaa.org/catalog/camel-1006400
Would it be possible to use a different color for the geometry overlay? With some explanatory text? Just brainstorming here on making this more intuitive....
