            I gave up on zoomability (with the idea to revisit after
            Athens is
            integrated),


        Athens is integrated. Now if the community does not help
        redefining the
        drawnOn: methods using athens then it will not happen.


    And, speaking of infinite zoomability, you have a few surprises
    waiting for you in Athens :( (some are from Athens design, others
    may be linked to Cairo).


?
What exactly?

(1) Precisions issues: Athens/Cairo seems only precise at 0.001 points in Roassal space (independently of the scaling of the canvas, i.e. even if you camera scaling is 10 pixels for 0.001).

(2) Limits: if your Athens coordinates are over a certain number (around 1e7, I believe), Athens stop displaying things (independently of the scaling, again)

(3) Athens design: the idea of having a stroke width of 1 has strange effects (polygons with scaling being 10 pixels wide, but with a border a 100 pixels wide: certainly not what you expect to see displayed)

(1) means that you can't zoom to a meter/pixel resolution without errors on a earth map where your scale is at 1 in roassal / 1km at equator.

(2) means that nothing will be displayed on your map of earth if your scale is at 1 in Roassal/1m on Earth (i.e., if you try to solve 1 by increasing your scale, then you may end up with nothing displayed).

(3) is just plain annoying, because of (2).

For normal Roassal use, doesn't matter except if your unlucky with your scaling. When you start to play with geo-referenced data with a meter resolution, you are sure to hit them. I did ;) Luckily, at that stage I knew I had proper projections and coordinate transforms, otherwise I would have lost a lot of time.
