Comment (by tschaub):

 Replying to [comment:20 ahocevar]:
 > Tim, thanks for refactoring and improving this good all-time favourite
 that we also love and use in Mapbuilder. A few remarks:
 >
 >  * The control should have a div property (like e.g.
 Control.!ControlPanel) to allow for placing the scalebar in an existing
 container (outside the map).
 >  * tsep and dsep in the formatNumber function should be configurable
 like measurementProperties to allow for locale-dependant output.
 >  * the DOM element title (line 286 in !ScaleBar.js) should not be hard
 coded to start with "scale 1:". This should also be made configurable.

 Good suggestions.  Thanks Andreas.  I'd actually like to move formatNumber
 entirely out of the control - but I think if it lives there for now,
 that's fine.  Also, I noticed a bug that had been sitting around in that
 styleValue method for years (see the "break rules" statement).  Unless I'm
 losing my mind, we want to get out of there as soon as we find a rule that
 applies.  The whole point of going backwards through the stylesheets is to
 get to the applied rule first - then return.  I'm embarassed how long that
 was sitting uncorrected - unless I'm wrong about it now.
