I meant that when the feature is clicked or hovered it is redrawn
using the render intent configured in the control:

layer.drawFeature(feature, this.renderIntent);

I'm suggesting to change the feature's render intent.

With the select feature control one can choose whether to use "hover"
or "click". Why not applying this to the highlight feature control?
