[OpenLayers-Dev] editing controls, preserve selection

[Cameron Shorter]

Pierre,
I suspect that for some controls it makes sense to deselect a feature 
when you change controls, and for others (like yours) it doesn't make sense.
So it probably should be a flag a control should set. (I haven't looked 
into the code to see where this should happen).
