It's probably because I'm using the PanZoomBar control. 
restrictedMinZoom is having an inconsistent effect on the zoom slider. 
The slider doesn't always stop at restrictedMinZoom and you still have 
the additional levels showing on the slider that you cannot access. I'd 
like to be able to make the switch between google and bing seamless. In 
the old VirtualEarth layers I could achieve that. I'm just trying to 
recreate what I already have, but make it smoother and faster with the 
new features.

Does it make sense to have a numZoomLevels parameter without 
minZoomLevel? To me it makes sense to be able to restrict zooms to a 
range and have the zoom slider show only that range. The slider is not 
responding well to the restrictedMinZoom parameter. I can drag the 
slider below the restrictedMinZoom. I think that might confuse people 
using the map. I have no need for the first six zooms, don't want to 
show those levels, but I do need detail, right down to zoom 21. The 
slider is rather large with all 21 zooms.

Maybe I'm being pedantic :-) Maybe I will just hide the slider.
