<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks much for your reply. While I did
not go the route of manually defining my GML based on your example, what your
example did was jog my memory: “where have I seen that before???” –
mapserver WFS output of course. Since I have mapserver on my system,
configured for WFS, I simply loaded the WFS layer in an open layers shell, then
copied the GET for the layer in question out of the Firebug Console (thanks to
a post by Arnd Wipperman on an earlier thread), and voila, I had myself a
properly formatted GML file.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>What’s the use if I already have mapserver?
Well, I have a fairly restrictive internet setup here, so I am not able to hit
any of my mapserv installs, so I am experimenting with an entirely OL approach,
since that is javascript and runs on the client. So far, I am very encouraged!</span></font></p>
