[OpenLayers-Dev] Tiled WFS layer

[Cameron Shorter]

Martin,
The WFS only is required to return GML, and GML doesn't contain style 
information. (You need to associate a Style Layer Descriptor SLD file to 
get styling.)
The concept is to keep data and style separate.

KML has a different concept and have data and style in the one document 
(like HTML). And some WFS's like Geoserver also return KML.
