[georss] Transport of Toponyms with GeoRSS

[Ron Lake]

We also support subscriptions based on feature type and area of interest
in our WFS.  We can do geoRSS(GML) this way as well.

Mark,

This is an interesting discussion.
My big interest is in the support of user subscriptions based on
geographic
areas of interests (AOI) for alert notifications... Like the OGC SAS/WNS
:)

If you look at this pubsub example
(http://www.pubsub.com/earthquakes.php),
It would appear that the feeds would have to be encoded with the
Flinn-Engdahl regions.  This would certainly avoid some expensive
geo-spatial computations.
I guess that the geonames example:
http://www.geonames.org/geonamesRSS.html
is similar in a way.  This is akin to a granularity issue, I suppose.

The big deal with georss is that you can define an wider and precise
geographic area using gml.
I think we need both.
Could we get this to merge?

Pat.
