 From that you can note that the GML support is fixed at GML2 and 
supports only a simple feature model. Still the range of content
is more expressive then that of Shapefile, so you may need to export the 
content out to something more capable like PostGIS.

Thanks for the update Jesse, I was just looking at the module during the 
IP check and did not see anything difficult with the
test cases.
