[OpenLayers-Users] Greedy event handling

[Erik Uzureau]

Hi Glen,

This is a good idea. Im not sure whether it should be the *default*
behaviour (though I am certainly willing to listen to motivations) but
the least we should do is allow this as an option.

I have made a new ticket [1] for this... patches welcome :-)
