Hi Pieter.

OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP now fully supports the MapFish HTTP
interfaces (a.k.a. the MapFish Protocol), defined at
<http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/MapFishProtocol>. MapFish
and FeatureServer share the same HTTP interfaces. So if you develop
web services that respect these interfaces (in Geomajas or anywhere
else) you and your users could just use Protocol.HTTP and
Format.GeoJSON without any modification or extension to OpenLayers.
And going that path would lead to some compatibility across our server
implementations, which would probably be a good thing.

Hope it makes sense.
