yep, the OLON object is an OL's internal object that let you easily 
manage inputs and outputs for the map state.
The code is not mine, the idea started in the code sprint in Victoria 
and most of the code, for this feature, has been written by Tim Schaub.
OWS Manager is just one sample implementation that needs some refining.

The SOC's student would be helpful to review and fix a good technology 
that works with most browsers, he/she will have a change to dive into OL 
core directly without having to learn another framework and doing 
something that applies to all frameworks that extend OL.
IMO: min effort for max result

I've just seen I've lost the meeting. sorry

ciao
Lorenzo
