I saw this same thing mentioned in some blog posting somewhere, and I
thought "huh, someone is confused": in fact, this lines up exactly with
the TMS spec, and can be used with practically no changes by the default
TMS layer:

 You just need to specify a serviceVersion of '.' .  (This is pulled
 almost exactly from the TMS example that ships with OpenLayers.)

Other than the TMS layer?

None needed, so far as I can tell.
