OpenLayers doesn't currently deal correctly or completely with 
protocol/payload versions for WMS, WFS, KML, or GML.  For example, if 
you set the version (param) of a WMS layer to "1.3.0" you don't get WMS 
1.3 requests.  The same is true for WFS.  And for the GML and KML 
formats.  Sorry for the bad news.

We can correct this without breaking the API (so it won't require 
OpenLayers 3.0), but it will require some significant work.

I'm hoping to find time to improve the situation for GML soon.  Then for 
WFS.  These are portions of OpenLayers that have not previously gotten 
much support.
