Hello Arnd,

An option named "sphericalmercatoralias" is indeed very specific to
sphericalmercator.
Maybe, an option named "projection" is not specific enough. Users could
think that such an option would somehow magically allow reprojecting the
overlay projection to the map projection. Things would get mixed up, when
sending bounding box coordinates using the wrong projection.
So maybe an option named "projectionalias" would be a better name than
"sphericalmercatoralias" or "projection"?
"projectionalias" stresses the fact that the projection itself should not be
different, just the code that is being used for the projection.

Anne
