[OpenLayers-Dev] projection property on Geometry?

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi Chris,

but not all geometries are necessarily tied to layers are they?

Imagine a polygon created by a handler, which is then used in Filters for
a WFS Request. There is no way to tell which projection the geometry is in
currently.

Best regards,
Bart
