It could be possible to produce both  PDML file and a PSML file and read
both of them in order to get both details and
the Info-column things, but I was thinking that it might be good to have the
Info-column data in PDML.

Having the info column in PDML output as well would enable post-processing applications to display the summary of one packet, in addition to the details (e.g. as heading), with just one (t)ethereal call. This is especially useful if post-processing is designed, e.g. for performance reasons, to do just one call and receive just one output file.
