And the Scale and coords controls are both 'more modern' and work
differently. Permalink doesn't take an options hash as its first
argument, it takes an element (or element id): specifically, an element
of an 'a' tag, that it will update the href of.

Again, refer to http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/controls.html , which
has a permalink outside the map, for an example.
