[gin-info] Possible list of subset data for info interop

[Oxana Smirnova]

I see; so shall we just pick up these values from wherever they sit in 
our own schemas and dump them somewhere in a flat list? Fine by me, but 
what's the use of it? To make nice HTML tables?

Also, regardless of GIN activities, shouldn't TG be planning for a schema?
