 This is not the most common use-case, but it is one IMHO. Imagine you want
 to use Format.GML to fill an attribute table. Now the parsing of
 geometries can be quite consuming, and you might want to postpone the
 parsing until it is really necessary, e.g. when the user presses the
 highlight feature button in the toolbar above the grid. Currently there is
 no way to do this.

 My proposal would be to introduce a property for this, and to cache the
 DOMElement on the feature so it can be easily parsed later on when
 necessary.
