I'm still puzzled on how this can be used for anything other than a last minute fix for a demo. On a real production server with real clients hitting it, how do you cope for the changes in the structure of the feature type when a filter tries to handle it? Moreover, this kind of change would not require hijacking only the standard GML output, but also the DescribeFeatureType response (by all means doable as well, but before considering poking with code that works and risk introducing bugs I need a solid case). The beauty of an output format is that it does not touch at all the core WFS code so if any bug is lurking, it affects only that part of the code.
