OK.  I went too quick on one point.  I had cut and paste some code that
was looking for feature.name.  Switching that to feature.title got rid
of the "undefined" I had.  I hadn't payed attention because according to
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/Text-js.html :
"The possible columns are: ... title ..."

So I understand that the title column can be named something else like
name ?  Could "lat" be renamed "latitude" then ?  Point is : that is a
departure from layer.text, albeit a minor one I admit.  More important a
departure IMO is that now one has to have values for iconSize and
iconOffset.  With a layer.text, those were optional.

Cheers,
