And naturally, as soon as I send a big long email, I'm able to create a
demo that at least demonstrates the right way to do things:

http://openlayers.org/~crschmidt/arkansas/wfs.html now displays a WMS
request and WFS request against the 'CULTU.LANDMARK_TIGER_2005V1-236'
dataset. The problem with the WMS layer seemse to be that I was trying
to render at too 'far out' of a zoom level (scale too large) and so the
WMS wasn't rendering -- zooming in once fixed it. 

At least in this way you can see an example of your data in OpenLayers,
even if it's not entirely feature-complete.
