.
you are saying that in josm they implemented a wms proxy for tiled umages servers based on http protocol?

the reason i ask you to support yahoo tiles specifically is because its license allows derivated works with CC-by license, so anyone could map for osm legally only with those tiles.

yesterday i downloaded osm2go sources to have a look on this part, and it doesn't look as easy as i thought
could you add more comments on that part of the code so i can try to support tiled servers.

thanks for tthe patience.
