gml_[item name]_type : applies also to DescribeFeatureType requests !

[fvanderbiest]

The doc [1] says :

gml_[item name]_type : (Optional, applies only to GetFeatureInfo GML requests) Specifies the type of the attribute. Valid values are Integer|Real|Character|Date|Boolean.

But in fact, it also works with WFS DescribeFeatureType responses (and this is very important !). I think that the online documentation should make this clear to everyone.

gml_[item name]_type is also described in the WFS server document. Metadata that are described in the WMS documentation must be assumed to apply to WMS. If one is interested in WFS metadata, one should consult the WFS documentation.
