It would be useful if users could choose which info (scale, region extent,
grid) should mapinfo display (something like 'scale y/n'). I think the
case you want scale only is quite common.
Another possibilty is to split mapinfo into more objects, so that you
could add information about scale and region extent separately. Now only
one mapinfo can be added.

Comment:
presumably we could add '%s' to the `header` instruction (see the help
page) for scale*, and maybe extend formatting key to the `comments` and/or
`text` instruction?
[*] actually I'm a little surprised %scale isn't already there.

It could partly solve the problem. It would be more meaningful for
'comments' and 'text' than for 'header' instruction which can be placed
above the map only.
But I still think this should be done by mapinfo. It would make mapinfo
more usable.
