Nope. GML is supported out of the box. However you may need to worry 
about the gml_include/exclude_items metadata to control whicih 
attributes are output. I think you may need DUMP TRUE in your 
GML-enabled layers as well.

In pre-5.6, GetFeatureInfo output in GML format included only the bbox 
of the features and not their geometry. This was fixed in one of the 
last betas as well. See http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3161

Err... I know I've done this before, but I'm not fluent in OL so I don't 
remember... a wild guess would be to look for an info_format param when 
you create the layer, but I'm sure others on this list can provide a 
better answer than me.
