Thanks, I'll open a ticket for that. Note that you can set
TRANSPARENT:"TRUE", and then set isBaseLayer: false as an option on the
layer, rather than depending on the automatic detection by Layer/WMS.js,
so this shouldn't be a showstopper for anything. (The 'transparent ==
true' check is just for convenience.)
