Thinking about slow internet links (mobile devices, rural areas, etc) I was
wondering whether the map extension should work like some youtube-links on
many blogs:

- Load a static map image and a tiny bit of Javascript
- If the map image is clicked, load the Openlayers Javascript and make the
map slippy

This can be implemented easily for maps without KML overlays.

This static image could also be used for static dumps without much effort.
