[OpenLayers-Users] Can't define hover behavior on a Feature.Vector or a Layer.Vector

Is not a bug, `vectors.events.on({"featureselected": ...` works if there is
some piece of code that *selects the feature*. Usually a SelectFeature
control. 

NOTE: Is not necessary to use `vectors.events.on` to highlight, it is
preferable to use a styleMap with a "default" & "select" keys on a
Layer.Vector.

See example: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/highlight-feature.html (uses
the default styleMap)

styleMap is only supported on Layer.Vector (I use a patch to use styleMap on
feature, but only in exceptional cases as highlight a KML + extractStyles)

Regrads,

Xavier
