What would be really slick is if we could switch to a different geometry 
when the reprojection gets changed (unfortunately i can't think of a 
practical way to do this, as the database can't really tell us that the 
columns represent the same thing).

Do many people take this approach of multiple geometry columns to gain 
performance?

Also, how could we override the default geometry for the lifetime of a 
layer? That would be a little more sane than forcing users to restyle 
all the time...
