Glad to hear that you're making headway with WhereCamp, Anselm. It was an great event last year, and I really would like to see it continue.
Mike, your proposal sounds really interesting, and I believe a fair assessment of how 3D projections may play out. Google seemed to be really interested in defining 3D projections over Streetview, which is somewhat surprising since they didn't publish an open API and shut me down personally for providing code samples how to access their data. I still think that could be an interesting avenue for beginning to do spatial projections that people find meaningful, even in a proof of concept form.
