 WFS protocol can be created after WFS getCapabilities, for instance, by a
 GeoExt WFSCapabilitiesReader. At this stage, protocol's geometryName is
 unkown, since it can only be obtained by WFS DescribeFeatureType.

 Thus, I think we need a setGeometryName method in
 OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.v1, so that its internal format can be upgraded to
 take into account a geometryName different than OpenLayers' default
 "the_geom".

 Here's a simple implementation for this proposal :
 {{{
     /**
      * APIMethod: setGeometryName
      * Sets the geometryName option after instanciation.
      */
     setGeometryName: function(geometryName) {
         this.geometryName = geometryName;
         this.format.geometryName = geometryName;
     },

 }}}

 It would also be very easy to do it at application level, but since the
 format is not an API property, it might be better to expose an API method
 for this purpose.
