I don't know about "intentional", but there have been occasional
slides projected at CSC club meetings where the subject came through the 
window and was cut off at the bottom, but still looked perfectly okay.  As 
I recall the last one, it looked okay because the part chopped off was very 
dark and maybe surrounded by darkness  (like say, a person with black 
pants standing in a shadow being chopped off at the knees) because 
the point of cuttoff blends in with the blackness of the room.  In other 
words, "it doesn't show". So even though technically (by the rules stated) 
it's a dastardly violation, but it works okay.

So, not really a reason to do it, but sometimes it doesn't really hurt
much.  :-)
