Hi,
I'm the only one finding the inconsistency between the
names of the params used int reflector and GetMap format_options
confusing?
The reflector will use mode=superoverlay whilst
the GetMap path uses format_options=superoverlay:true.
The same goes for superoverlay_mode (reflector) vs overlaymode
(format options).
Why is that? Can't we have the use use the same names and
the same way to express things?
Cheers
Andrea

Not sure. Way back when I only recall discussion taking place about what the parameters would be named when going through the reflector, not what the format options should be named.
I agree it would be better to have the parameters be named the same, i can't think of any reason not to. Unfortunately we are stuck with those format options for backwards compatability reason but it should be easy to deprecate them and make them aliases for the new consistent names.
