[OpenLayers-Users] tilted perspective

[Steve Nelson]

I haven't even looked into where this would sit in the OpenLayers.js file.
Have you seen three.js? There are some pretty slick things with that, I
know exactly squat about it

This example could prove useful. Imagine if all the OL tiles were the
squares in the grid.
