Hi Yves,

 Couple of things:
 
  First of all, you you should be able to do a GetFeatureInfo request on 
this WFS layer. There is a bug with latest versions of MapServer I 
believe trink and possibly 5.6 (I only test trunk). The bug is described 
at http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3403, and It should now be 
fixed in svn. If you are builiding aginst trunk, please give it a try.

 Other notes on
   - I usually have a  "ows_latlonboundingbox" set on the wfs layer
   - I usually add &RADIUS=2 when doing a GetFeatureInfo request.

hope it helps.

best regards,
