featureNS on Layer.WFS has no effect, as far as I know.

featureClass, however, makes the WFS layer a markers layer instead of a
vector layer, so it will only work for points. Killing a featureClass
from a WFS layer which only serves polygons should make it display.

(Thanks for bringing this back to the list, Robert.)
