Hey Tisham, I've been noticing your commits going by - really great work 
on this.  I'm psyched to see better support for worldwind.

A couple ideas to take things a bit further, if you're interested.

One thing that would be awesome is to make sure GeoWebCache works with 
WorldWind.  It may work as a caching WMS already, but I'd be a bit 
surprised.  Another route would be to make a worldwind service for GWC, 
like there is for google and bing (see 
http://geowebcache.org/docs/1.2.0/services/gmaps.html)  It would output 
tiles in the exact format WorldWind expects.  Maybe it's the same as 
another output, but even if it is having a named worldwind service would 
make it more obvious.

The other idea would be to make a GUI plugin for WW Java.  This could be 
similar to istyler - 
http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/community/istyler/ 
Basically a preview page that's a plugin, with WW Java embedded. 
Ideally it would pre-populate the layers that are in GeoServer.  This 
way people could see how easy it is to get their GeoServer data in to 
world wind.

With your output formats and with GWC caching it could make things on 
worldwind quite fast.

Keep up the great work, thanks for taking over the module, it's nice to 
see progress.  Also, whenever you're ready we'd be happy to put a blog 
post up about it.

best regards,

Chris
