In order to have different callbacks for different layers, this was
changed to an 'onFeatureInsert' method on the layer. You can see this in
action on the openmnnd.html demo in the examples/ directory, changing
the styles after the features are added, or in the wfs-scribble.html
demo, which sets the state to "INSERT".

I'd need to hear a reason why onFeatureInsert() doesn't cover your need
first.
