Make OpenLayers display arbitary vector data

[kousu]

I've managed to get OpenLayers to load countries.geojson, which wasn't that surprising since that I stole off of their demos. On the other hand meatplants.geojson, which is a dataset more interesting to us, is being finicky. It's downloading but not displaying. No exceptions, though. I assume something is up with the geoprojection.

What did you do to get the farm polygons to show up? Can you do it again? The meatplant dataset is open data, so it is in the repo now ([[assets/maps/meatplants.geojson]] and sourcefile(s) assets/maps/original/meatplants.zip if the geojson version isn't good enough).

I'm on Windows right now and about to go to sleep, but try removing the first two lines of the meatplans.geojson; the recommendation you gave to me.

Remove this line.
"crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4269" } },

Got it. There were two blockers: this, which I never would have remembered myself, and that OL renders point data using different styling than it uses for lines and polygons. I'm going to submit a feature request that attempts to use null renderers trigger a warning on the JavaScript console.

I foresee us finding lotttttts of bugs in OL3, and getting their quality up as a side effect of pushing their library so hard.
