I think that newer DSSSL stylesheets process content of this element. If
you can use XSL stylesheets, they output information in *info for sure.
You can always customize DSSSL stylesheets to proces element in the way
you want. For example if you want to show content of sect1info/autor add
following code into your DSSSL customization:

(element (sect1info author)
    (let ((author-name  (author-string))
	  (author-affil (select-elements (children (current-node)) 
					 (normalize "affiliation"))))
      (make sequence      
	(make paragraph
	  quadding: 'start
	  keep-with-next?: #t
	  (literal author-name))
	(process-node-list author-affil))))

Then it is the best time to customize your stylesheet.
