[OpenLayers-Dev] Different lon and lat map resolution (and other issues)

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi, 

thank you for clarifying this. I add only small note, that when I'm
posting patch, than it is supposed to work for IE, Firefox and Opera and
normaly, it went through jslint as well.

Thanks again for your time for clarifying it

Jachym
