Hello Yves,

This sounds kind of similar to what I'm doing. If you make your points 
available as a GeoRSS feed, you can use the "GeoRSS2" layer available at

http://www.free-map.org.uk/test/GeoRSS2.js

which creates markers from a GeoRSS feed.
There is a load() method which takes a bounding box and loads all markers in 
that box.

There is a full example at

http://www.free-map.org.uk/test/fmap.html

You might want to look at the code for that.

Part of the code is a generic "GeoRSSClient" class which allows the user to 
add and remove markers. This is at

http://www.free-map.org.uk/test/GeoRSSClient.js

Let me know if you need more details on any of this.
