Is It Possible To Rounded Shapes? Shapes Such As Hexagon, Octagon?

I've been trying to round the corners of hexagon shapes for a while however I've found that none of my methods work. Do you guys have any suggestions on how it can be done?

HTML

<divclass="hexagon"><div>1</div><div>2</div><div>3</div></div>

CSS

.hexagon {
    position: relative;    
}

.hexagon > DIV {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 48px;
    -moz-border-radius: 16px;
    border-radius: 16px;
    width: 64px;
    height: 96px;
    background-color: blue;
}

.hexagon > DIV:nth-child(2) {
    -moz-transform: rotate(60deg);
    -ms-transfrom: rotate(60deg);
    -webkit-transform: rotate(60deg);
    transform: rotate(60deg);
}

.hexagon > DIV:nth-child(3) {
    -moz-transform: rotate(120deg);
    -ms-transfrom: rotate(120deg);
    -webkit-transform: rotate(120deg);
    transform: rotate(120deg);
}

Notes:

• This would probably be better done with SVG or a canvas unless it's an isolated need. Creating a bunch of elements to form a shape is both non-semantic and tedious.

• IE 7/8 won't work at all due to transform, border-radius, and nth-child.

• You'll notice the simple mathematical relationships between the size of the border radius, the width, and the height.

• This site shows many other interesting shapes that can be generated.
