Lots of WMS servers will reproject data on the fly, if asked to do so. The few that I played with would usually support a few popular ones. I can't remember the syntax that was used to request that (it was part of the URL given to the WMS server). Though, doing a bit of remembering (and reading), I think JOSM requests that the data be returned in the projection it's currently using. You could check what it supports by requesting a URL like http://map.toronto.ca/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?service=wms&request=getcapabilities&version=1.1.1 in your browser. Be prepared to parse XML manually :( Google earth (or openjump, or similar) do useful things with those URLs, and might help decode it. hope that helps do more than just confuse people (and I hope I'm not totally off-base, since I'm pretty new to all of this stuff) - austin. -- Build a man fire, he'll be warm for a day.
