Would be great if users could easily add WMS layers to their Google Map
Layers.  The easiest way is just those that support Mercator (EPSG:41001),
but even better would be to do the transform from lat/long (EPSG:4326) to
google maps.  There is some code to do this at:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Google+Maps, and
http://openlayers.org also has a nice API for adding WMS layers - would be
great to be compatible with that.  If there is real concern over this
bringing down WMS servers since it hits them hard with tiles, I would
recommend the WMS Tiling Client Recommendation, which is implemented by
TileCache.  Or else just cache the WMS, like how Google caches web pages,
and then would be able to display it even more quickly on google maps and
google earth.

Is there a recommended WMS interface for GoogleMaps? I have been useing WMS236 for years with no real problems until you try to port to v3! Why hasn't Google taken this code optimised it and included in the API? This certainly is a very big omission that other proprietary APIs support!

Cheers,
