I think this problem is due to the lack for encodings of semantic
geographic information in GeoRSS such as country, administrative
division or placename. We have discussed this before and the discussion
has been compiled in a draft :
http://georss.geonames.org/georss-draft.html
Not only could semantic geographic information in GeoRSS be used to
display labels but also for fundamental use cases in automatic
processing like filtering, grouping, prioritizing of feed items
according to geographic criteria. We shouldn't discard this issue as
'human readable' versus 'not human readable'. It is simply an important
and missing feature in GeoRSS.
Cheers
Marc
