Ok, so that works...curious now if it is possible to make the  
gml:points features so I can use a select like this:

var myStyles = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({
				"default": new OpenLayers.Style({
					pointRadius: "${size}", // sized according to size element from  
GML source
					fillColor: "#ffcc66",
					strokeColor: "#ff9933",
					fillOpacity: 0.1,
					strokeWidth: 2
					}),
					"select": new OpenLayers.Style({
						fillColor: "#66ccff",
						strokeColor: "#3399ff"
					})
				}
			);

			olmap.addLayer(new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("GML", gml, {styleMap:  
myStyles}));

Thanks again.
