Oh sorry, I guess you mixed up my questions.  I know what projection the
NASA's Landsat WMS layer is in, I just don't know how to get the wmsplugin
talking to "Tiled WMS" (http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/tiled.html).

Apparently you can get some infos about how to access it by sending a
GetTileService query, but that's all they're sending back:
