Hi Chris,

The service info is available in XML output, just not as a separate
element. It's incorporated as attributes in the service element. Here's
from me scanning localhost with -sV:

<service name="X11" product="XFree86" extrainfo="open" ostype="Unix" method="probed" conf="10" />

The ostype="Unix" corresponds to "Service Info: OS: Unix". Apart from
ostype there the attributes device and hostname.
