Yeah, the mime type for gml output for GetFeatureInfo was not really though
out with regard to gml versions. "application/vnd.ogc.gml" is ambiguous.
Ideally choosing the output format would follow the way other output formats
do it and just use a different mime type. "text/xml; subtype=gml/2.1.2" vs
"text/xml; subtype=gml/3.1.1", etc... Choosing output format based on
backend data source could work... albeit a bit tricky. And I think it is
nicer to be explicit.
I could also see a configuration option that allowed the admin to control
whether gml2 or gml3 is used for the "application/vnd.ogc.gml" mime type.
