[Geomoose-users] Problem in query.php if layer SRS different from map SRS

[TC Haddad]

Just as an overall comment, there are 2 very distinct user groups for the
demo - people who only care about Web Mercator stuff working, and people
who are trying to work in a local projection.

What we have in the demo is working pretty well for the first group, and it
is a bit unfriendly to beginners in the second group, as projections show
up in multiple places where beginners are likely to run into trouble (e.g.
even setting up your zoom levels in the Mapbook.xml). It's compounded if a
user runs into a bug, and doesn't know it's a bug.

Probably worth a review of the docs to see how we might improve in this
area...
