I believe that Steve added GML featureInfo output shortly before the 3.5
release.

With respect to INFO_FORMAT=MIME, the 3.5 version always returns the
same text/plain output.  Query templates aren't supported yet but they
should be eventually (templates are simply ignored at the moment). That
should allow full control on featureInfo output, including control of
which attributes are returned, and even generating XML output if you
like (if you provide an XML template).

I can't confirm when this will be available... it's on our very long
list of features to implement.
