Right, discussed at 20050921 telecon and fixed.

Good catch.  The stuff in Example 5 is old, and hasn't been updated to 
agree with the defined behavior when zooming to a group of objects.  In any 
case, Boeing is writing new, more appropriate examples to replace all the 
examples in this section.  So all of these examples will disappear and be 
replaced by new examples.
