yes, there is a lot of incompletness around..
the server stop sending unit updates when the unit is not moving.
but at the last update the client received the unit had yet a tiny velocity..

we're planning to code a check, on the client, for the time of the last
update, and stop using the 'cached' velocity if older than, say, two seconds.
or even to represent visually that the unit data is old (fading away..?)

well, there is always a lot of things to be done, and in the last weeks
(months?) it's slower then expected..  blame xkobo!  :)
