Its great having Andrea starting to exercise this thing. And a WMS
would be awesome - it always seems to get pushed down the priority
list but is really vital for community acceptance IMHO. And
architecturally, supporting a metadata-rich response to a
GetFeatureInfo makes a lot of sense.

You should be able to use INFO_FORMAT parameter to choose the gml version

We should look into this a little more - there is no valid GML2 schema
for a schema in 3.1 - but then again delivering GML, and for that
matter GetFeatureInfo is optional - so choosing only to deliver the
appropriate schema is compliant if the INFO_FORMAT is set - choosing
to deliver it if INFO_FORMAT is missing may be technically
non-compliant.
