The other thing you could do, if for some reason you really don't want 
to save the vectors to the server, is to use inline features in your 
SLD.  See: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/InlineFeature

You'd have the vector layer write itself as GML, and then include that 
in a GetMap POST request, and GeoServer will render it for you.  The 
problem is that I don't think OpenLayers supports the WMS GetMap POST, 
so you'd have to code that.  So the easier route is to save the vector 
layers to the server.
