If you want use GML to create vector features see:

http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/gml-layer.html

and

http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/GMLParser.html

The first example uses a Layer.GML - a subclass of Layer.Vector.  With 
the GML layer, you construct it with a title and the path to your GML. 
All the features in the GML will be added to your layer.

The second example uses the Format.GML - a GML parser.  In this example, 
you can see how to construct a Format.GML and call the read method to 
get an array of features.  Then you can do whatever you want with these 
features (like add them to a vector layer to have them displayed).

Hope that helps,

Tim
