In the past we've always been told that you must have a basemap to use OpenLayers. "So many things are keyed off of the base map, it must be there or things just won't work." However, I find this to be an awkward constraint, particularly if you have an OGC context that you are loading. OGC contexts have no knowledge of the concept of base map - everything is just a layer and the "basemap" is naturally the bottom layer of the context. To get around this, I developed a dummy "Null" basemap class that always returns blank.gif. Is this an acceptable solution to the problem? If so, would this be a worthwhile ticket/patch to provide?
