+1 on that.

If you don't want to go all the way with GML, at least a trivial XML format:

<feature class="[category]" name="[name]" address="[street] [city]" />

And you would parse it in your GetFeatureInfo's 
eventListeners.getfeatureinfo If you're using jQuery then parsuing the 
HTML/XML is dead simple:

clicker = new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo({
    eventListeners: {
       getfeatureinfo: function (reply) {
          var xml = $(reply);
          reply.find('feature').each(function () {
             console.log(  $(this).attr('name)  );
          });
     }
  }
});
MAP.addControl(clicker);
