Ah, then your'e fine with this: this only adds it to the map by *default* -- that is, if no controls:[] option is specified on the map. If you specify controls: [], then the control isn't added -- I think this was Paul's question as well, which I hope I adequately responded to there. This is *only* for the 'standard' default OL map -- if you want to customize your map, we're not going to force you into a specific direction. With that in mind, do you forsee a problem? or was your concern just that it would be added to the map regardless of what was specified in the map intializer control list?
