[OpenLayers-Users] MapGuide overlay session ID requirements

Brilliant. Thanks chaps :)

The question now becomes: is there any preference between using
OpenLayers.Layer.MapGuide and OpenLayers.Layer.WMS (which I've been using up
until now)? The WMS is simpler to implement (no session ID required).
Furthermore there's this warning from the MapGuide class's API
documentation:

"NOTE: untiled overlay layers issues a synchronous AJAX request before the
image request can be issued so the users browser may lock up if the MG Web
tier does not respond in a timely fashion."

If the WMS call isn't synchronous (is it?), then there appears to be two
good reasons to use it instead of the MapGuide class.

Thoughts?
