Hey Steve, Thanks for the reply. I flailed with this for quite a while. I'm not an Esri user and the vendor that I'm supposed to support is unfamiliar with WMS. I was trying to follow an Esri example that was returning XML for GetFeatureInfo requests but I was making a lot of (bad) guesses. In the end I built a very basic app with the Esri JavaScript client that displayed GetFeatureInfo responses in a popup. So I've proven that it can be done which allows me to throw the ball into the vendor's court.
To sort of answer my own question, plain unformatted text with a text/html mime type displays in the Esri JavaScript client (jsapi) attribute popup. XML does not appear to be necessary or helpful.
