[OpenLayers-Users] split features

[Tim Schaub]

Not currently documented as part of the API (should be), but LineString 
and MultiLineString geometries have a split method.

http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Geometry/LineString-js.html#OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString.split

If you have one feature named "knife" and another named "worm", then you 
could get the relevant parts as follows:

     var parts = knife.geometry.split(worm.geometry);
