[OpenLayers-Dev] bbox strategy and zooming

[Eric Lemoine]

Yeah, we could add a new option to the bbox strategy. If its value is
null the strategy behaves as currently. If it's non-null, the strategy
fetchs new data on zoom in if the current number of features in the
layer is equal or higher to the option value. Eric
