Comment (by tschaub):

 Replying to [comment:20 ahocevar]:
 >  * 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).

 Thanks to inheritance, we get this for free.  I've updated the scalebar-
 thin.html example to show use with a custom "div" and added docs to make
 it clearer that this is possible (see r5567).

 >  * tsep and dsep in the formatNumber function should be configurable
 like measurementProperties to allow for locale-dependant output.

 I think this makes sense.  However, (as we agree) the formatNumber stuff
 belongs elsewhere, so I'm not making these API properties of this control.

 >  * 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.

 Also a good suggestion.  I've added a scaleText property to the control.

 Updated patch and sandbox reflects these changes.
