WMS 1.1.1 (section 7.3.1) leaves the GetFeatureInfo result pretty loose, so I don't see any issue w.r.t. the allowance of suppressing geometries in the response. MapServer-wise, have you thought about contributing this to to developers? Perhaps along with a WEB/METADATA flag like: "wms_feature_info_geometry" "0" Default being "1", or "on". ..Tom
