[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers Coding Standards

[Bill Thoen]

Thanks for the references! This is interesting; especially David 
Flanagan's comments. It sure looks like things were kind of wild around 
2005-2006 in the JS world. Lots of dueling standards, and plenty of 
frameworks to choose from! Unfortunately for me, my Rhino book is 4th 
edition -- published just prior to all the excitement with JSON and 
AJAX. I wondered why such a thick book seemed to have said little or 
nothing about a big part of the language.
