I am thinking the qualifier here would be "esthetically pleasing", as in: "There are no rules regarding lay-out, as long as the end result is esthetically pleasing"
That shower urges the observer to honestly wonder if the base construction methods were as sloppy as the final appearance would suggest.
But this is just my take on it.

yea, that corner definitely breaks the 'hurts my eyes' barrier.... and that makes my brain hurt. shows a certain...... mastery of unorthodox installation techniques.

I ment that comment to be sarcastic. I realize that wrapping is the RIGHT way. Althought not written in any books, it is the right way.

Brian, you're spending too much time in restrooms. 
Opie, That's a good one! A tile showroom with that on display.
