That persist option on the handlers allow the drawn feature to stick 
around until another one is drawn or the handler is deactivated.

Note that my sandbox work is not to be used in production environments, 
not to be considered stable, not to be considered good code, etc.

The stuff that makes it in to the trunk is good - but that measure stuff 
only works in limited cases (makes big assumptions about projected 
areas/lengths).
