I will definitely check this out.

I'm comparing this relative to several layers.  One is a simple lat-lon
point layer, some polygon layers, and the TerraServer WMS.  I have
enough "controls" matching up beautifully, with the lone TIGER layer
skewing out of place.  So, I believe the chances are low.
