WFS request options

[nelson guda]

Hi all,

I have an odd request regarding WFS capabilities.  Is it possible to  
have a WFS mapserver request return gml results without the geometry  
data?

I know that this seems odd, but it makes sense for what I am doing.   
I am using a WMS overlay to serve tiles for a large dataset to an  
overlay on google maps.  In order to query specific polygons from  
that dataset (a shapefile), I am using a WFS GetFeature request.  All  
I need is the id and other parameters of the feature, but not the  
geometry data (because it is already there from the WMS.  Right now I  
am just parsing out the info I need from the gml at the server level,  
but it would be much faster if I could get the WFS to return only the  
feature info minus the geometry data.  Is this possible?

Thanks, and thanks for your previous help.
