Good point. One thing to try and convey, however, is that the feed is
still RSS/Atom, it just has extra markup in it. It isn't a whole new
feed type. You can still put a GeoRSS feed into your vanilla RSS
reader and it will be ok. I thought maybe putting the globe in the
RSS's bottom-left circle, but that doesn't show up at 12x12. Seems
like there should become some typical way for a feed to add the
various extensions that it provides, but nothing other than the
standard has shown up yet at http://feedicons.com/

There was a decent suggestion at "Subtraction":

I've attached 3 images at your prescribed 12x12, though I do see a lot
of sites use 16x16 as well. And 1 that is longer.
