[OpenLayers-Users] What is options parameter for in Permalink?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hello,

1) What is options parameter for in Permalink?

OpenLayers. Control. Permalink
Parameters
element	{DOMElement}
base	{String}
options	{Object} options to the control.

There is not an example that I can see that demonstrates the use of this.

2) Are Permalink and argParser designed to be easily extended? Does 
anyone have an example of these managing more than the standard center 
and layers?

Thanks,
   -Steve
