[OpenLayers-Users] Making a change of style permanent

[Roger Kunkel]

I'm overriding the preFeatureInsert method to assign styles to  
features of a GML layer.
It works great, but the style does not get applied to the first  
feature in my layer. (i.e. features[0].style is still the default)
Is this a bug? or I'm I missing something?
