Allow pan-dragging while outside map until mouseup

Description

By reassigning the map's 'mouseup' action to the document/window temporarily, it should be possible to allow dragging outside the map. When the user lifts the mouse button up, it should stop panning and un-assign these events from the document/window (and back only to the map).

I am wondering why this is put off for a couple of releases.

Disclaimer: I have zero knowledge of the code base or other priorities.

I offer this up from a user-perspective: using openlayers.org, dragging out of the map was infuritating to use. It was snappy, and slick, and then I'd drag out and get frustrated.
