Geoserver 2.0.x does not currently provide an option to restrict WFS
access to certain layers, and at the same time not to others within
the same instance. Let's say I have 3 layers published as WMS, but I
only want 2 also accessible thru WFS. It would be nice to have control
of how layers are exposed in each output format.

A quick workaround would be to set the "Per-Request Feature Limit"
option in the layer's publishing section to "0", but it does not seem
to be applied (if I set any other number it works and returns that
exact number of features). I suppose the "0" value means "no limit",
but it would be nice to actually use it as a real value to restrict
access to that layer's WFS.

I understand this is not the best solution, as it breaks the
Capabilities document, and so on, but it could be a quick fix before
virtual OWS services are implemented (?), which would eventually
provide more control on publishing options.
