Yes. This behavior will change in 2.5, with the addition of the SphericalMercator options -- the WMS Layer currently has its 'reproject' option set to 'true' by default, which will change to 'false'. (This is because the reproject option breaks other things, so havig it on unneccesarily is bad.) > Curiously, they lined up even when I accidentally set the SRS option > on the WMS to 4326 (initially I had it set to 3395, WGS84 Mercator). I had seen this but punted on it, thinking 3395 and 4326 were the same. Since they're not, I bet yoru backend WMS was not projecting things right. With 4326, the reproject will do client side vertical stretching of the layers... with 3395, I have no clue what it would do :) > OpenLayers, so good it works even when you screw up.
