Here we come to usual problem:
 - those who came from traditional maps think in scales;
 - those who came from web-GIS think in zoom levels.

There's no useful "scale" in EPSG:3857 - it changes depending on
latitude. So it is possible that renderer has to mix styles for
different scales in one screen.

If you're using a different projection, and it's majorly different
from EPSG:3857, you have no "default" tiles grid.

Do we have any real application now that uses not EPSG:3857 aka
Spherical Mercator for rendering?
