I am FINALLY getting a chance to test this with real data and using a 
color coder.  I used latest versions of FF, IE, Chrome.  All of my 
polygons are simple four sided rectangles.  All of my points are 
centroids of the polygons.  I do not have any relevant polylines to test 
with.   The four new settings work fine.  A few other observations...

Test exhibit: http://dev.dgs.udel.edu/sites/maps/pubex.html


1) The bottom border is not displaying.  The left, top, and right border 
are.

2) The legend (usually at the bottom of the map with point markers) is 
not appearing.  Can we display some type of legend, either identical to 
the markers (balloons) or small squares?

3) On the map view showing both points and polys, the onclick event is 
not working for the polys. When that view is displayed, it prevents the 
onclick events from the other map views.   It works fine when clicking 
the markers.  Not sure why.  Could be because the same item has both a 
point and polygon associated with it.    Nothing good from Firebug.

4) The color coder is not working in Chrome. 

5) The ordering of the polygons is important.  The larger polygons 
should be displayed first (in the back) and smaller ones on top.  In my 
example, it's displayed that way as my data feed is sorted by size.  You 
could probably compute the cartesian area in pixels by using 
polygon.GBounds (or spherical area using GLatLngBounds but cartesian 
will do and perform better.)
