[georss] Discovery of georss and other geographic information?

[Stefan F. Keller]

Ron,
That's something in the direction I'm looking for, *but*:
i) Web Registry Service seems to be a search and not a harvesting protocol:
it mandates a query language; so it could be made still more light-weight,
ii) and the latest spec. is a discussion paper with version 0.0.2(?) which
is "deprecated and provided for historical purposes only" according to OGC
home page.
iii) AFAIK it was replaced by CSW 2.0 which was made even more heavy-weight.
Did you follow the link I dropped?

-- Stefan

P.S. Still: Anyone who knows the status of GeoRSS (simple) as microformat?
