There is another national TileMatrix in the same service which
should be easier to handle ("JHS" matrix set is an official
recommendation for national use in Finland while "MML" mastrix
set must be something special for internal use at the National
land survey of Finland.) Perhaps it would be not too bad if the
WMTS driver would support first only the simple cases with same
TopLeftCorner values at every zoom level and resolutions multiplied
by factor of 2 at each step. That might encourage WMTS service
providers to avoid using the advanced flexibility of the standard,
which after all would be just good for everybody.
