Well then, I guess that would deprecate 'getExtent'...

Another thing that always bothered me was the 'getClientRect' function.  As
far as I can tell, the first two elements will always be zero, so why are
they returned?  (or could somebody give me an example where the first two
elements are not zero?)  I guess this one doesn't matter so much since
changing this might break too much code...
