Note that if you are using a vector layer with a protocol, you don't 
specify internalProjection and externalProjection on the format.

Instead, you specify the map.projection and the layer.projection.

The layer.projection is taken to mean the coordinate reference system of 
the source (features on the server).  And the map.projection is the crs 
for rendering the features.

So, if your layer.projection differs from your map.projection, the 
protocol will handle the transform.

And yes, as mentioned, you need proj4js definitions for your 
map.projection and layer.projection in order for the transforms to work 
(assuming they are different from 4326 <-> 900913).
