[georss] GeoRSS for earthquake/tsunami reporting

[Ron Lake]

Sooner or later you will need the idea of application schemas as in GML
so that you can have defined application vocabularies without
overloading existing terms not intended for the purpose.

This sounds like a case where you really want to extend RSS in a way
that is unrelated to its 'geo' nature: you want 'earthquake:magnitude',
not a term in the GeoRSS namespace. Although it might be possible to 
co-opt the :radius tag, that's probably the wrong way to go.
