Well, it could generate said categories as e.g. (on human.svg) [[Category:Knee|Human.svg (box:10,10,20,20)]] JavaScript could check for these for each image on the page. Might be JS overkill, though.
I took me a while to understand what you mean with this. I was thinking in including into an article (maybe with a tagged parameter), not into the automatic preview on categories. Interesting thought, though quite open for category abusing.
Oh, I think now I see what /you/ meant :-)
I thought you thought to display all "marking boxes" that are encoded in an image description in each article that contains that image.
So I thought it would be faster to add the coordinates to the category sort key, because that is much easier to access from javascript.
What you actually meant (i think...) was to add "marking boxes" for an image on an article that actually uses it, and to show them only there. Correct?
Anyway, I'm already done with the basic box-display-based-on-article-html thing. I might demo a version on one of my own images on commons today or tomorrow. Note that for people not using my demo javascript, the whole thing will be completely invisible, except for a template or two in the image description source.
