Well, I think right now Google's crawler doesn't successfully navigate regionated hierarchies. Maybe that's changed since we started, but the original reason to do the pagination was because they didn't handle that. They said that it would be their preferred way to crawl, and we agreed, but we need to be crawled right away, not wait for them to implement it.

But since tiles do just consist of more links to tiles then maybe it will work? I'd say try it out, see if a big dataset gets crawled all the way down.

I think we dropped an important use-case (name the geosearch module, oops) when we rewrote the KML regionating code. It relied on the SLD strategy and used a simple start=index&stop=index pagination method.

I've been looking into fixing it today and ran into a number of issues. After speaking to David I also realized that the pagination had no functionality except that it was simpler to implement. (I thought this output form was better than having many tiles, but apparently James prefered tiles over it).

So I propose we drop everything but the sitemap and namespace indexes, and have the network links folders temporarily link to the GeoWebCache tile hierarchy instead?

Depending on what cholmes wants me to work on, I can focus on giving the KML stuff in GeoServer the same functionality / restrictions that GWC operates with. We already have tickets in jira for that.

disclaimer: I'm very tired, if you think I missed something trivial, I probably did.
