Cool! And it even adjusts correctly when you pan the mercator projection
north to south. I wonder if this is some new code specific to the OSM
site or a new OpenLayers release. I've been looking for a scale bar
control that works for more projections in general rather than just
trivial cases like TM for some of my own projects.
