This relates to a question I had earlier that never got a response.  On 
the site mentioned, I'm sure the points were created and managed within 
ka-map javascript, right?  Well, what if I want to animate the base 
data, by altering the mapfile Layer Filters and/or Class Expressions on 
the fly (although this would have a variety of uses beyond that)?  From 
what I've seen, nothing in ka-Map seems to go back and alter the 
underlying mapserver; it only changes what happens to the maps after 
they're generated.  How hard would it be to add such a functionality?  I 
could probably build & contribute it if someone could suggest an overall 
strategy.  The new function for turning off the cache for specific 
layers will certainly help.
