[Mapserver-users] querying WMS layer

Lemme rephrase to make sure I really get it: "MapServer as a WMS server
can be queried for feature info. However, there's a shortcoming in
MapServer's WMS-client so that WMS layers cannot be queried in this
fashion." Is that right?

If so, is there some other prescribed way of displaying a WMS layer, and
being able to query that layer?

Is this cascading thing an issue for MapServer's WFS implementations
as well? Could a MapServer WFS-client layer be queried?
