Yep, that's what I was about to suggest. There is however a gotcha,
the algorithm there
won't smooth the contour lines, so if the grid is coarse it will
result in isolines with
some sharp angles, see for example:

http://demo1.geo-solutions.it/playground/GeoSolutions/wms?LAYERS=GeoSolutions%3ADEM_Vulcano%2CGeoSolutions%3ADEM_Vulcano&STYLES=%2Cdem_contour&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=14.912120506292,38.517691856383,14.913429100042,38.518959556579&WIDTH=512&HEIGHT=496

or use this to see it in action dynamically:

http://demo1.geo-solutions.it/playground/GeoSolutions/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=GeoSolutions:DEM_Vulcano,GeoSolutions:DEM_Vulcano&styles=,dem_contour&bbox=14.747,38.336,15.082,38.661&width=512&height=496&srs=EPSG:4326&format=application/openlayers

There are also some issues in fully flat areas, yet that should not be
too hard to fix.
What is hard is post-processing these coarse isolines to smooth them
without risking to get them cross each other in areas were the
isolines are pretty dense.

If you have a nicely working algorithm that can smooth the isolines
without ending up having them cross each other
I would be happy to have a look at it :-)

Cheers
Andrea
