This doesn't answer you question exactly, but have you considered using
a WMS getFeatureInfo request instead? Then you can use a simple
template.html to decide which attributes you want to return for later
parsing.
I've done this a few times myself with Google Maps.

Hi all,
I have an odd request regarding WFS capabilities. Is it possible to
have a WFS mapserver request return gml results without the geometry
data?
I know that this seems odd, but it makes sense for what I am doing. I
am using a WMS overlay to serve tiles for a large dataset to an
overlay on google maps. In order to query specific polygons from that
dataset (a shapefile), I am using a WFS GetFeature request. All I
need is the id and other parameters of the feature, but not the
geometry data (because it is already there from the WMS. Right now I
am just parsing out the info I need from the gml at the server level,
but it would be much faster if I could get the WFS to return only the
feature info minus the geometry data. Is this possible?
Thanks, and thanks for your previous help.
