I have no idea. I don't transform coordinates on the client. I'm simply
putting it out there so that persons interested in such a thing can duke
it out at FOSS4G after having studied each other's proposals.

I believe that cscs -- the prior version of Proj4js -- did, indeed,
suffer the problem you describe, but I'm not sure.
