I found an old email of yours and worked it out in the end... seemed quite 
simple, basically zoom 1 = 360 degrees = 512 pixels, zoom 2 = 360 degrees 
= 1024 pixels, etc.

Did you get my email of last night that I've sorted WMS compliance and 
separated contours into their own layer? Basically means it should now be 
ready to go live.
