The examples at

and exemplifies this.

My patch alters the user experience - points are added on mouseup, and
a point is drawn on activate. Given that I'm happy to create new
handlers, and place them in a new addin. This addin could be used as
an incubation home, and inclusion into the lib could be considered
later, for OpenLayers 3 for example.

Thank you for any comment,
