At some point in the future, the scale control may actually use geodesic
measurements for determining measurements: in a case where you have a
global map, scale is obviously not the same everywhere (think a Mercator
map), and there has been some rumbling from people that they are unable
to use the scale control because it doesn't match the Google
Maps-created expectation that the scalebar will change as you drag north
and south on a Mercator projected map.
