Thanks... I never would have guessed that. Is the sense of "max" and "min" backwards as well? In other words, does maxscale apply to the largest denominator or the largest scale (1/denominator)? To put it more explicitly, if I set maxscale to 100000 does that mean that the layer is visible between 1:1 and 1:100,000 or that it is visible only at scales smaller than 1:100,000?
