I am trying to create a tilelayer.wms overlay on top of a wfs base map and I wasn't sure whether leaflet allows the applications/openlayers type of format which I served up from geoserver or only images/pngs.

With leaflet, you can add WMS services as tile layers on the map. There is some example code in leaflet api here.

var nexrad = L.tileLayer.wms("http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cgi-bin/wms/nexrad/n0r.cgi", {
    layers: 'nexrad-n0r-900913',
    format: 'image/png',
    transparent: true,
    attribution: "Weather data © 2012 IEM Nexrad"
});

i hope it helps you...

Yes, I know that, but I mean can the format where you have 'image/png' be 'applications/openlayers'? – Carl Carlson Nov 20 '12 at 20:19

No. WMS maps are dished out as images. Application/openlayers is not a valid format. see WMS specs opengeospatial.org/standards/wms – rashad Nov 20 '12 at 20:41

Application/openlayers can be a valid format but it isn't what you want - it returns a complete html page containing an OpenLayers application inside it. It's mostly a short hand for the GeoServer layer previews that turned out to be handy for others to use. – iant♦ Nov 21 '12 at 8:35
