[georss] Commas and radius in the spec.

[Ron Lake]

Hi,

 

Stefan is correct. The example GML with a posList containing commas is
incorrect.  Only white space is allowed.

Raj, Your confusing me both in a objectionable as well as a positive
way: To my understanding, currently commas are allowed in GeoRSS Simple
(though not clear enough) and disallowed in Pro/GML. Now you give an
example, where the latter allows 'pair separators' different from
whitespaces too. That's fine, but my inclination to a 'coord pair
separator' is readability as well as syntactical support especially in
pos/coord lists within GeoRSS Simple.

In the spirit of clarification, I believe you're right, and it might be
nice
to have this example in there as something that's forbidden in Simple.
In 
Pro/GML, however, this is permitted by explicitly specifying what you're
doing, e.g.:
<gml:LineString>
  <gml:posList cs="|" decimal="," ts=" ">
     354554,28|1073157,38 354790,53|1075794,63... 
  </gml:posList>
</gml:LineString>
