Yep. > Is to possible to reproject OSM tiles back to "normal" longitude and > latitude not through the server but with javascript code? Nope. Javascript can't manipulate images in any fashion other than a linear stretch -- and linearly stretching images is functionality we're moving *away* from in OpenLayers because it had too much behavior that users couldn't accept. > So the OSM > layer would be treated like "normal" OpenLayers layer.

If you want that, you want to set up your own tiles -- or use another service on the web which provides up to date, unprojected tiles. OSGeo used to host one of these, but I let it lapse after recent planet.osm troubles. I can take the time to set it up again -- then you'd just point to http://t1.hypercube.telascience.org/tiles? , with a layer of osm-4326, which would allow you to use tiles that are compatible with all the 'unprojected' services out there. If I set it up again, would you use it? If so, I can set it up again.
