Fair enough.  Granted my example sucked but I'm not entirely sure the
underlying idea - detection of a tile request failure - is that
crazy.  For example, if one of your tiling servers was an Amazon node
that went down in that last outage, a certain portion of your tiles
just wouldn't get loaded until the (js) code was updated to take that
node out of circulation.  I guess the moral of this is that if you
care enough to not be down or degraded, you need to take the
responsibility on yourself.  Point taken.

Appreciate the response.
