Just saw something interesting on the OL list : 

"So I have an OpenLayers map that has a WMS Layer on it, and a
GetFeature control that uses the WFS.fromWMSLayer Protocol in
conjunction with a Vector Layer to highlight a selected Feature."

So it seems like it is possible to highlight what is selected with a
queryonclick highlighted in the WMS (or does that return the
corresponding features ?).  That would potentially make the marker issue
moot.  That could also probably be used in the InitialView widget.

I'll put that in Trac when the JIRA history is shoved in.

That could be only possible if a vector layer (of the same resource) was 
added to the map and if the QueryOnClick widget was enhanced with a 
"AutoResourceActivation" tool, like the Shortcut widget.  Do you see 
what I mean ?

Unless there's a vector layer of the same resource, it would be 
impossible to "highlight" anything with a simple getfeatureinfo request...
