I've been working on something like 'display georeferenced point', and I did
like that:

- associate the X/Y coordinates with a geometry in the database (using
PostGIS extension to a PostgreSQL database;
- import the database in an istance of GeoServer (which can reproject your
points in all the SRS you can think of, maybe this can be useful for your
application),
- let OL ask for the points (you can use filters also, e.g. spatial filters)
via WFS protocol to GeoServer.

Absolutely powerful, and simple.
