As an aside, this example is not working - returning java errors. I have 
told openlayers-dev.

However, this is pretty much like I am doing but with selectFeature 
control. It still involves a WFS response. My problem is that the 
geometry in the WFS response is too large - it takes a long time to send 
and along time to process. I want the wfs features minus geometry. And I 
want a way to use WMS instead of WFS to display selected features.
