OK, but can I add new layers dynamically (say, by allowing the user to
type in a WMS URL on my website)?

The style for example: I guess what I'm really asking is, "is it
possible to change the WMS URL at runtime"?

OK - are there any guidelines on how to replicate this?

What I'm looking to do is see if there's potential to use WorldKit in
a similar way to how I use OpenLayers in my ocean data exploration

exploring possibilities at the moment.
