I was shooting for the Simple Features Profile in writing the GML v3 parser.

Can you give some more detail?  I'm curious to hear a use case for 
complex features.

Also, if you provide a (short) bit of your gml, I'd be interested in 
seeing what it would take to get the parser to support it.  Since we 
have a very simple model for features in OpenLayers, the most likely 
solution is for you to extend the parser with some custom 
readers/writers (which is very reasonable to do).
