[georss] Commas and radius in the spec.

@1. Actually, there was quite some discussion in the past with good
arguments - also from my side - against using whitespaces and I'm thankful
for the current synthesis - its far more human readable, easier amenable to
pretty printing (just to remind: now, with whitespaces as main separators we
abandoned a possible upward compatibility for 3D coords).

GML (3.1? future 3.2??) per se is no argument on its own. But to complete
the argument list, I heard in the meantime another point against commas:
Some say that if only whitespaces are used, then it's a generic XML schema
datatype. Question is (if this is true), if we want it to be (also) an
generic XML schema datatype.

So again: It was not my intention to abandon the comma here; I wanted to
clarify it!

@2: Commas *must* no be used like this "<georss:line>45,256..." and nevver
have been allowed, that's clear. Just wanted to remind.
