Hi All,

This is my best understanding of the different projection / srs parameters.
Would anyone care to correct, second, or otherwise comment?

SERVER MAPFILE
MAP PROJECTION or WMS_SRS - what this WMS server will output.
LAYER PROJECTION or WMS_SRS - the native projection of this layer.

CLIENT MAPFILE
MAP PROJECTION / WMS_SRS - the output projection of this mapfile. what you
will see in the resultant image.
LAYER WMS_SRS - the available options from the WMS server.
LAYER PROJECTION - the chosen option from the WMS server.

Am I getting this at all?
