Output attributes from shape-file in WFS/GML response

Ethan,

Thanks. It is really the WMS GetFeatureInfo GML response that I want to 
suppress the geometry for. WFS should probably always return geometry. This 
relates to:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=300

.... and since control of the attributes was done, I was hoping that control 
of the geometry was too. Many people want to publish WMS services without 
exposing their geometry.

I've always hacked mapgml.c myself to suppress the geometry, and was hoping 
that this would not be necessary any more.

All the best,
Doug
