Can I get a vote on this? By default, this control will do nothing -- if no layers have attribution on them, then nothing shows up. However, if someone adds 'attribution' to the layer options, then it will show up -- rather than needing to add attribution *and* the control. The benefit is that some commercial organization can now provide a .js file on their website that is *just* a layer class - and nothing else -- and expect it to work. I personally think this is kind of cool, and would be in favor of it. Can I get a vote on this? All in favor of adding the Control.Attribution to the map by default? I'm +1.
