[MapQuery] marker layer

[Steven M. Ottens]

Hi all,

I've got a design issue:
I want to add a marker layer to MapQuery 
(http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/Markers-js.html) 
so I can add markers to my applications. However the actual markers are 
a different object 
(http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Marker-js.html).

As such just creating a layer type:marker wouldn't achieve much. We 
could pass in coordinates to add markers at those locations;
layer = {type: marker, location: [[3,2],[5,4]]}
But how should you add markers later on or remove them?

Alternative would be to create a marker object (just like in OL) and 
create a markers() function on the layer object
marker = {location: [3,2], icon: 'icon.png'}
marker2 = {location: [5,4], icon: 'icon.png'}
layer = {type: marker, markers: [marker,marker2]}
But that would create an extra function on the layer object, which can 
only be used for a marker layer

Any thoughts?
Steven
