Hello,

2 branches that use the WFS :

https://github.com/iTowns/itowns2/tree/WFS2_rebased --> There are all 
building in France, and on the city of Lyon you can see datas vector in 
the form of Lines and Points


https://github.com/iTowns/itowns2/commits/kmlLoader --> There is draping 
a vector feature on the ground.(Example is located in the Alpes). You 
can activate picking zone in GUI.
