I finally got it working !

MapFish server is indeed very similar to FeatureServer. Using 
Protocol.MapFish, with a minor change ('bbox' instead of 'box' 
property), I was able to accomplish all three transactions using 
layer.protocol.commit(features). The 'onRoadCommit' function called 
after the transactions is pretty much the same as the 'onCommit' 
function of the Save Strategy.

I wasn't able to use the MapFish http-proxy.py proxy since I'm having 
some trouble with mod_python in FGS, but Normand is working on it. It's 
working without it anyway, so it's a minor detail.

See the demo (not showing that much in the end for so much work trying 
to understand how it works... but I'm happy anyway) :

"Spatial" thanks to Chritopher Schmidt, Eric Lemoine and Yves Moisan who 
helped me a lot,
