The only layers which implement this functionality at the moment are commercial 
layers which make it available via their API. Adding this functionality
to OpenLayers is a long-standing feature request
(http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/110), but no work has yet been done
on it, and no work is yet scheduled on it.
