Right, I need to respond to this one, as the de facto maintainer of the
ka-Map integration with OpenLayers. What it comes down to, breifly, is
that I believe the fixes you have described should be happening
upstream, with the ka-Map project, and that instead of having tile.php
in the OpenLayers examples, we should simply remove it totally.
Similarly, 1518 below: the precache.php.txt file does not belong in
OpenLayers, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with the
KaMapCache layer, if you're interested in it.

This is simple, and I just haven't learned enough about translations to
test them yet, so I haven't done anything with it. It looksfine in
general.

That would be good, yeah.

Your patches, in general, look fine, and I'm glad to know you're still
aware of them and looking to push them forward. So long as that's the
case, there's no problem leaving them in the current milestone. I'm
mosty looking to push a lot of things that people have opened and
forgotten about forward, if there is no active work on them.

Any further comments on your tickets, I'll do through trac/seperate
maisl to the list: thanks for the summary, and the hard work!
