Three is an official shapefile.shp.xml file format to hold this kind of information; but nobody ever uses it. GeoTools has limited support for reading these files currently; if you would like to review the code and extend the facility it would be appreciated. I see you already found the "info" data structure we fill in with what information we can find.
