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

[Arnd Wippermann]

I would appreciate, if the Control.ModifyFeature would enhanced to delete
features. 

If you use OL for digitizing, you have a problem to get rid of a feature.

Indeed, the API doc isn't correct.

We cannot delete polygons et lines with the modify feature control, so why
would we allow deleting points? Maybe you think that the control should
allow deleting features?

I don't get that. Could you please elaborate?
