Hi all. Can we remove the obsolete 900913 code, and replace it with 3857, both in core and in the plugins? See below for details. All the best, and thanks to Luca Casagrande and Markus Neteler for pointing this out. ===== http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/SphericalMercator "SphericalMercator and EPSG aliases
The SphericalMercator projection in OpenLayers uses code epsg:900913. When Google started to use the SphericalMercator projection, a corresponding EPSG code did not yet exist, so a temporary code '900913' (notice the resemblance to the word 'google') was invented. Many other services, such as OpenStreetMap, Bing and Yahoo are now also using the same projection, but are not necessarily supporting the use of code EPSG:900913. Other codes, such as EPSG:3857 and EPSG:102113 were invented. Today, there is an officially registered EPSG code 3857 whose projection is identical to EPSG:900913.
