[georss] Transport of Toponyms with GeoRSS

I would not go as far and speak about 'invention' in the context of 
GeoRSS or RSS. All I am suggesting is using the country code invented by 
ISO, use it for the vehicle RSS and call this combination GeoRSS. (The 
same is true for ISO 3166-2, the postal code and similarly for the place 
name.)
The really hard work, the invention and maintenance is done by ISO. They 
have invented the wheel. Using it in a xml schema is a piece of cake and 
I don't really care how this combination is called. I have therefore 
setup a draft for a "geonamesRSS" encoding :

Any comment is welcome. Either here or on  the geonames mailing list :
