    Ah right, good point. Actually I realised that the doc in 
`ml.feature.StandardScaler` needs updating for `withMean`:
    
    ```
      /**
       * Whether to center the data with mean before scaling.
       * It will build a dense output, so this does not work on sparse input
       * and will raise an exception.
       * Default: false
       * @group param
       */
      val withMean: BooleanParam = new BooleanParam(this, "withMean",
        "Whether to center data with mean")
    ```
    
    ... as good a place as any to add a warning about using with sparse input 
(this can then show up in `explainParam` doc as well as ScalaDoc. Python side 
will probably need it too.
