Comment (by tschaub):

 Thought I could give a quick review, but I'm confused by two things:

 1) Why do we have MIN_ZOOM_LEVEL, MAX_ZOOM_LEVEL, and RESOLUTIONS?  Is
 MAX_ZOOM_LEVEL ever different than MIN_ZOOM_LEVEL + RESOLUTIONS.length -
 1?  If not, why not dispense with MAX_ZOOM_LEVEL entirely.  And then,
 isn't MIN_ZOOM_LEVEL really about a zoomOffset?  Like, in OL we use 0
 based zoom, but somewhere else they use 1 based zooms - so we always want
 to add 1.  Maybe this is way off - I'm just confused why we can't just use
 resolutions.  Since maintaining zoom number when switching layers has no
 meaning, I like the idea of keeping resolution constant.  Maybe this is
 happening and I just need a lesson on fixed zoom levels.

 2) Why is the MAX_ZOOM_LEVEL 17 for VirtualEarth while there are only 16
 items in RESOLUTIONS?  Again, probably my lack of understanding on this
 fixed stuff, but I'm curious.
