[georss] Transport of Toponyms with GeoRSS

[noiv]

I'd like to add a point from the view of a user and/or application
designer to the discussion. Years ago coordinates have been useful for
geographers and machines, (only). But since interactive maps pop up
everyday, coordinates gets a meaning for end users as well.

Now there are programs helping him to consult a map
and he easily can see where in the world a given coordinate
points to and how it belongs to himself.

I would say, the coordinates in a feed have turned from a
data element into an action element. The procedure
or problem of position a map in way the given point
is visible at best is now solved by programs for everybody.

The question is simple: What's the text on the button starting
this procedure?

Everybody is talking about Globalization, Global Warming, etc.
and there is a need for a method of linking a resource, a message
or an event to a point on this planet in an end user friendly way
And there are end users at both endings of communication.

Isn't GeoRSS the most nearest concept that
matches a solution to this challenge?

If GeoRSS will not go this way, what else do you plan?
