feature.style is for the old way of styling features > I need to set a hash and the > feature will be rendered without the contexts. if you want to get the symbolizer (style hash) of a feature use styleMap.createSymbolizer(feature, intent). > I don't fully understand how the contexts, symbolizers, etc. work, but > my first guess would be to support OpenLayers.Style object directly in > the feature object.

So feature.style = styleMap.createSymbolizer(feature) may be what you're looking for.
