 Since both a Tile Set Definition and Map Definition both define coordinate systems and extents. The question may arise as to which one to use when creating a MgMap. The answer is simply if a Map Definition references a Tile Set Definition, then the coordinate system of the Tile Set and the extents of the Map Definition "wins". For example, if the coordinate system of the Map Definition is LL84, and the linked Tile Set Definition is WGS84.PseudoMercator. The coordinate system of the MgMap that is created will be WGS84.PseudoMercator and the extent will be the WGS84.PseudoMercator projected version of the Map Definition's extents.
 
-The reason for this rule is simply it is much easier to re-project dynamic layers to the Tile Set's coordinate system rather than re-projecting tiles to the Map Definition's coordinate system. Client authoring tools should do whatever they can to communicate this fact.

Client authoring tools should do whatever they can to communicate this fact. Also if providing specialized editor support for tile sets, it should ensure that any extents that get set for an XYZ tile set definition are WGS84.PseudoMercator-based, doing any coordinate transformation if necessary.
 
 This support requires some changes to MgLayerGroupType and MgMap in order for applications to identify if it originates from a Map Definition or Tile Set Definition.
