[OpenLayers-Users] Alternatives to get rid of WFS layers

My code for doing this is quite old and definitely work in the "if ain't 
broke, dont fix it" mode. I use a custom wfs protocol tied to 
"featureadded" of a point Drawfeature control. I think at the time, it 
was a way to give more control over the radius of selection. Since I 
used near identifical code for "select by polygon" (use a polygon 
handler instead of point handler in the draw control) it may simply have 
been economy of effort. I have only used selectFeature control with 
vector layers (kml) but I struggle to remember the decision-making 
process around that.
