Yes. The GeoRSS layer is designed to do one specific thing -- display markers on a map with ppups. the GML Layer has the ability to use the GeoRSS format, and use the full support of vector styling -- clearly much more complete than the default behavior of a georss layer -- and therefore, if you want the functionality in this example, you shuld use a Layer.GML. Note that Layer.GML is really not at all about GML: instead, it is aa layer which downloads one file and treats it as a set of vectors. This should really be called something like "Layer.Vector.Fixed", rather than Layer.GML, but hindsight is 20/20.
