Thanks Daniel, for a very good answer and a detailed description of the problem. The side effects that you describe could be a show stopper, as the map service definitely will be used in a tiled environment. Norway spans from approx 58 to 71 degrees north, so different layers would most likely be turned on and off during panning north / south. I totally agree that Mercator is an unsuited projection this far from the equator, but unfortunately some customers do insist on combining our services with Google maps.
One other solution (or rather work around) I have thought of is to implement projection depended scales, and bind maxscale and minscale denominators to different EPSG codes. Of course this would not solve the mercator issue on a global basis, but in a relative small and well defined area like Norway it might be good enough, or maybe not?
