Comment (by tschaub):

 I'm confused.  What does this have to do with "hidden"?

 Sounds like you're proposing different defaults for layers when the come
 from WMC (as opposed to being created with an init script for example).
 How does it make sense for singleTile to default to true when reading WMC
 but to default to false when constructing a layer in the traditional way?
 Same for isBaseLayer, buffer, and ratio.

 Sorry if I'm missing the obvious.

 If you'd like to be able to have non-default properties set on the layers
 when you read WMC (that may not have been generated with ol specific
 tags), then I'd suggest having a layerOptions property for the read
 method.

 {{{
 wmc.read(doc, {
     layerOptions: {
         isBaseLayer: false,
         singleTile: true,
         buffer: 0,
         ratio: 1 // etc.
     }
 );
 }}}

 This would allow the library to be used by people who have different
 assumptions about what is sensible.
