[OpenLayers-Dev] Empty geometries causing errors in IE

[Roald de Wit]

Hi list,

Creating an empty geometry is fine in Firefox (SVG), but fails in IE
(VML).
It goes wrong in VML.js in setNodeDimension. This method tries to create
a bbox, then tests for its existence, but not if there is something in
there.

I'd like to start a discussion on whether OL should allow for empty
geometries or not. The least that should come out of the discussion is a
solution where the user doesn't get a javascript error for trying.

See ticket #1111 for a simple 'fix'.

Chris, Tim, anyone else?
