Hello,

I have seen a fix for version 2.5, #487 to wrap the dateline; its
limitations were described by OpenLayers below.  Will this allow me to
display an image with a bounding box which crosses the international
dateline using the WMS layer?  Could someone explain the limitation in bold
below? 

Limitations/expectations of this patch: 

It is expected behavior that the layer's getPixelFromLonLat will not wrap.
This means that if you are looking at Australia and Hawai'i, and you place a
marker at 175, it will end up visible or not visible depending on which side
of the date line you're on. 
Vector drawing across the date line is not supported. (Your mouse will
'snap' to the other part of the world.) 
Requests which cross the date line are *not* wrapped, so they will request
content outside the world if it does not divide evenly. 

Thank you so much.
