Trem,

At the moment, getFeatureInfo can return only plain text response when
you request MIME format.  Steve is working on GML output but I don't
think it's there yet.

Finally, about returning HTML instead of plain text, that was on my
list.  I would like to simply use the same TEMPLATE mechanism that is
already used by MapServer.  There was no plan for XML but that may be a
good idea, you could probably use the same template mechanism as HTML
for XML.  Not sure when I'll get to that, but to make sure it doesn't
fall into a crack I filed this in bugzilla:
