Inconsistent naming in Virtual Earth API

Ok, this is a required rant… GetZoomLevel() and SetZoom()? Are you kidding me? Who designs an API and doesn’t check for consistent naming? Only Microsoft, I guess…

Grumble, grumble. Good thing I was using FireBug, and it told me that “SetZoomLevel” wasn’t valid.
