So append would require one to expand the drawn area? Yeah, I see
this as problematic, as you either:
- return an image whose size is different from the one requested
- shrink the map to allow space for the the appended elements

Both cases seem a little un-natural for a GetMap request.
They would probably fit nicely in a new PrintMap request thought :-)
