EXTENT is allowed on the LAYER object, but it is not widely documented  
yet because it doesn't have much effect or behave consistently across  
all of the drivers.  Some drivers, and things like OWS should respect  
it if it is there (for 4.10+, IIRC).

In summary, EXTENT on a LAYER object is a work in progress, and it  
should be fairly innocuous at this point.
