Yep, agreed... to some extent. The fact is, GetFeatureInfo is different from GetFeature in a number of ways: - can work on cascaded wms layers and coverages - it tries hard to match the SLD, so it's not just a random distance from the point you chose, which is based on a static analysis of the SLD that tries to determine the optimal search area for that particular layer Long story short, the part that is actually easily shareable is the output formats, they both eat feature collections so they should be the same imho (with some limits, like not sure if template HTML is any good for WFS...)
