Comment(by jorix):

 Replying to [comment:5 erilem]:
 > I like this change, but I'm concerned with existing third-party controls
 that have "draw" functions that call Control.prototype.draw (which this
 patch removes). Maybe we could add something like this for backward
 compatibility:

  {{{
      draw: function() {
          this.div = this.createDiv();
      }
  }}}

 Ok, but in "Map.js":
 {{{
       if(typeof control.draw === 'function') {
             // dealing with a UI control
             var div = control.draw(px);
             ...
 }}}

 so this always would produce a div, which is what we are trying to
 avoid...

 not have this problem if this code is put into "deprecated.js", seem
 right?

 NOTE: I thought documenting {{{outsideViewport}}} and
 {{{displayProjection}}} properties in "Control.js"
