color=#0000ff size=2>This is a good first step. My long-term preference
would be to leave the MapDefinition as accepting the server default tile size,
and implementing a new construct as suggested by Andy to abstract TileGroups so
that they can be reused across MapDefinitions. That gets complicated when
you have more than one TileGroup in a single map though :)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=327120417-29012007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>At some point, the front end is going to have to make up to
two calls to determine the tile size. I think that it makes sense to have
the calls in the TilingService, but at some point the front ends are
going to have to check the tile size on both a Service and Map/TileGroup
level. Would it make sense to call these
methods GetDefaultTileSize(X|Y) ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=327120417-29012007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Will the tile size setting be on a
per-site-server level? If you have multiple tiling support servers
set up (I'm not even sure if this is possible) will they inherit the
settings from the main server, or need to be configured individually?
What happens if they have different settings?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
