Ignore the name LonLat.  The coordinates that are returned are in map 
units.  If your map units are meters, then the result of map.getCenter() 
will be in meters.

If you wish to transform coordinates (to go from one coordinate system 
to another), there is not currently support in OpenLayers to do so.

There are libraryish things out there to do this in JavaScript - but 
none have made it into OpenLayers yet.
