[OpenLayers-Users] Why is my WFS layer not showing up?

Why is my WFS layer not showing up? I cribbed off the current WFS demos 
from the OL examples, but for some reason it's just not appearing.

The URL of my app. Of course, view the source as needed.
    http://eixos.planol.info/cluster/example.html

Firebug is showing what loooks to be correct WFS activity. It is POSTing 
to the correct URL (yes, DATE is required for our purposes):

http://eixos.planol.info/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/maps/eixos/wms/mapfile.map&DATE=2010-08-15

It is getting back GML, including plenty of <gml:featureMember> blocks 
like this one. The coords are correct for this area in EPSG:900913.

     <gml:featureMember>
       <ms:cloud2 fid="cloud2.2103">
         <gml:boundedBy>
         	<gml:Box srsName="EPSG:900913">
         		<gml:coordinates>434243.810000,4586616.630000 
434243.810000,4586616.630000</gml:coordinates>
         	</gml:Box>
         </gml:boundedBy>
         <ms:msGeometry>
         <gml:Point srsName="EPSG:900913">
           <gml:coordinates>434243.810000,4586616.630000</gml:coordinates>
         </gml:Point>
         </ms:msGeometry>
         <ms:ID>2103</ms:ID>
         <ms:TITLE>Restaurant La Deliciosa</ms:TITLE>
         <ms:ADDRESS> CR MATARO</ms:ADDRESS>
         <ms:LAST_VISIT>2009-03-05</ms:LAST_VISIT>
         <ms:NEXT_VISIT>2009-06-05</ms:NEXT_VISIT>
         <ms:STARTDATE>2008-07-24</ms:STARTDATE>
         <ms:ENDDATE></ms:ENDDATE>
         <ms:LATITUDE>41.4276977467</ms:LATITUDE>
         <ms:LONGITUDE>2.2130631058</ms:LONGITUDE>
       </ms:cloud2>
     </gml:featureMember>


And yet, no features (points) are drawn. I'm not sure what I'm missing 
on this one. I'll be specifying a Style later, but I know that WFS has a 
default Style which would be fine for these first steps.
