 Some WMS capability responses include "service" parameters in their GetMap
 online resource href (see the response from http://tinyurl.com/v6y9h).
 Unfortunately, this server is not clever enough to respond well when OL
 tacks on its own "SERVICE" parameter.  (Sending both "service" and
 "SERVICE" doesn't work - http://tinyurl.com/un2nz - while just sending one
 is fine - http://tinyurl.com/yx4akt .)

 This is easy to solve if the WMS layer url is parsed for relevant
 parameters when the layer is constructed.  It would be especially easy if
 the patch for #378 were committed.

 I'll hold off on creating a patch for this until others confirm that it
 makes sense.

 (This is part of an effort to make OL work well with a WMS capabilities
 parser.)
