STATUS in LAYER object

[J. Parapar]

Hello all.
 
Regarding this ¿what is the difference between STATUS ON and STATUS
OFF? In a CGI request both STATUS seem to have a similar effect, I can
activate the "OFF" layer with the layer paramater in the request. ¿Is
the diffence only in WMS/WFS petitions?
 
Thanks
Jorge
