 documentation. Add with a single parameter has multiple possible
 interpretations -- for example, I would have assumed that it would add the
 same value to both properties, not to just the x value. Perhaps this is a
 case where it would make sense to do nothing, and report an error via
 OpenLayers.Console.error(), rather than adding in too much magic here.
 Does that seem like a valid behavior?

 yeah, you're probably right. the magic argument is a strong one. (as is
 the argument that your natural interpretation differs from mine ;-)). Have
 we any examples yet in the code of using the console.error()?

 I think this could be a good example.
