+            The vector layer shown uses the BBOX strategy, the HTTP protocol,
+            and the Text format.
+            This setup appends "?bbox=west,south,east,north" to every
+            request. This allows you to configure the location as something
+            like 'textfile.php', and take the '?bbox=' parameter to select
+            data from a database or the like.
+<br /><br />
+            There is nothing about this example that limits it to text files;
+            you can do the same thing with KML, GeoJSON, etc.
+            <br /><br />
+            This is an alternative to something like the <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenLayers_Dynamic_POI">OpenStreetMap "Dynamic POI"</a> example. The Layer is a standard vector layer, and interaction can be
+            configured via the SelectFeature control, as you can see in the 
+            latter half of the code, which allows you to open a popup when
+            a feature is selected.
