The problem is that "WFS" works only for layer of type polygon, and
not for layer of type annotation. The need to use an annotation layer,
is because i wish to get labels generalized.

Through the use of "WMS" I've been able in QGIS to show the annotation
layer. But QGIS not allow me to select elements, so that I can not
export them.

Yes, I use ogr2ogr to convert the GML files to GMT format. But, until
now, i can not obtain the GML that i hope.
