Chris,

Thanks for that. I upgraded to 2.6. and it is stable at least for what I am
doing and the transformation worked a treat.

When is 2.6 scheduled to be published?

Cheers,

Brad Spencer

Are you using 2.6 yet? It's in there: just:

 lonlat.transform(new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"), new
 OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"));

If not, of course, you can use the forwardMercator and inverseMercator
functions on your commercial sphericalMercator layer. (See
Layer/SphericalMercator.js.)
