Thank you, Sir,

I thought this had been implemented, but I looked all over for that last 
night but couldn't find it.

BTW, in the examples I think I searched for "zoom" or "animated" and 
this did not get listed in the examples. It would be nice to add these 
as keywords for that example.

You guys are awesome - I love OpenLayers!
