I don’t want to discuss the topic of sharing data here, I am a believer.

OK, I understand that while there is no difference in performance
between layer.WMS and layer.MapServer objects I could use the latter on
a mapfile which is not enabled as WMS. I would thus restrict the
publication to my own geoportal and not make the map (image!) available
to other WMS clients.
Well, there is really no reason for doing so, but here comes the
interesting question: What if I wanted to share my data as WMS but at
the same time needed full WFS-like access in my own web application? Is
there an equivalent to a MapServer layer?
I admit I haven’t yet fully understood the differences between layer.WFS
(will disappear soon? why?) and layer.Vector objects with protocols and
strategies. But they all work on WFS, don’t they?
