Box zooming will introduce major problems on the server side as there
will be a potentially inifinite number of zoom levels. This equates to
a potentially infinite number of tiles and the massive disk space and
processor time used to generate and store these tiles. As ka-map is
already **very** processor intensive, this is not an option for many
of us with a modest hardware budget ;-)

How would you propose to solve these problems? Is box zoom even viable
given the tile model of ka-map??
