STYLEITEM can only be used with "STYLEITEM AUTO" and works only for OGR 
formats that return style information (colors, symbols, line widths, 
etc.) in the form of an OGR style string. The most common OGR drivers 
that support that are the TAB and DGN drivers. GML itself doesn't define 
styling, that's why the OGR GML driver doesn't provide style strings.

I believe it's mostly in place in the 5.0 development version but may 
still be lacking docs. I'll let Steve comment on that.
