WFS contact info

[McGraw, Joanne]

Ah; makes perfect sense once it's explained. Thanks, Tom.
Of course, your answer then begs another question...does any one know of plans to support WFS 1.1.0?

Good question.  MapServer supports OGC:WFS 1.0.0.  OGC:WFS 1.0.0 does
not support contact information.  OGC:WFS 1.1.0 supports contact
information, but MapServer doesn't support OGC:WFS 1.1.0.
