[OpenLayers-Users] selectcontrol and layers property

[Frank Broniewski]

I didn't find the time to reply yesterday, but I want to confirm that the rc2 
indeed solves this. And it works fine so far with my 5 KML Layers. Good work!

And by comparing the two docs (for v2.7 and v2.8) I can see that a lot of work 
has been done at the Control.SelectFeature level.
