[OpenLayers-Users] Is it possible to delete a point using the ModifyFeature control?

I would have thought that it works like that, because it is promised in 
the API doc of Control.ModifyFeature, but it does not:

    /**
     * Method: handleKeypress
     * Called by the feature handler on keypress.  This is used to delete
     *     vertices and point features.  If the <deleteCode> property is 
set,
     *     vertices and points will be deleted when a feature is selected
     *     for modification and the mouse is over a vertex.
     *
     * Parameters:
     * {Integer} Key code corresponding to the keypress event.
     */

Also, handleKeypress is only triggered when the point is not selected.

Is this behaviour considered bug or feature?
