Thanks! But where exactly would be the benefit of switching from KML to
GML3 for example? GML is "just" another xml-structure OpenLayers would have
to evaluate...?
Or would you recommend switching to JSON-output for WFS? How would you
create the features on client-side in that case?

Kind regards,
Andreas
