There is a reason - the code was originally written to work like you
expect, but several years ago NGA started distributing DTED level 2
data with a .dt1 extension. So the level2 paths hack was implemented.

The DTEDLayer needs to be updated, I've been planning an overhaul but
haven't started work on it yet. It'll like of look like the
DTEDFrameCacheLayer.
If you use the DTEDFrameCacheLayer, you have to add a
com.bbn.openmap.dataAccess.dted.DTEDFrameCache to the MapHandler.
That DTEDFrameCache lets you set a StandardNameTranslator object,
which is an object that finds the DTED data for the DTEDFrameCache.
The StandardNameTranslator expects to see .dt2 extensions for level 2
data. The java docs for that DTEDFrameCache has details on how to
configure it with properties.

I'm not sure what you mean. The DTEDFrameCache is based on an
internal cache mechanism.
Hope this helps,
