Accepting both of these parameters and not throwing an error is a
violation of the spec. Additionally, there is no reason to do this,
because it still reloads with the dragging o the map, but it doens't
need to, because the data is always the same. Instead, one should just
use a GML layer, since that doesn't refresh unneccesarily when you drag.
