[OpenLayers-Dev] Understanding the restrictedExtent code.

[Phil Scadden]

I am some issue with restrictedExtent (I want to restrict users to north 
of 60S). Adding any restrictedExtent immediately changes some aspects of 
the code. The first (and most annoying) is that it turns wrapDateLine 
off (comments says it doesnt make sense for restrictedExtent). But what 
if my opening extent straddles the dateline? What I am finding is that 
despite restrictedExtent (minEast/MaxEast) being the same 
MaxExtent(minEast/MaxEast), I cant move my view across the 180 - because 
wrapDateLine is off. This seems wrong but I wondering why it was put in 
the first place? What would be the side effects of commenting out the 
"wrapdateLine = false" in the restrictBounds setter?
