[OpenLayers-Dev] question about upcoming projection support

[Erik Uzureau]

hi bart, the toString() function I think was mostly just designed for
debugging... not so much as a way to translate the bounds into a storable
string format.

I think your point is a good one... unfortunately, it wouldn't be proper of
us to change a thing like this now because it would be a breach of API.

for the OpenLayers 3.0 release, however, I think this would be a great thing
to change.

ps. if you really need this functionality, we could put in a patch for a
function with a different name (saveToString() or something like that) for
the time being and mark the current toString() as deprecated...
