I'd love to find a home for those discussions... either the new 
incubator, or a full working group that follows it afterwards, I'd guess?

BTW my notes from our discussions a year ago (almost to the day :)
are at http://danbri.org/words/2005/07/26/110

It has a quick howto on using the GML subsetting tool, and some thoughts 
  on finding an RDF/OWL-friendly subset. A few of my experiments are 
online around here: http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/rdfgml/tests/ 
including SPARQL RDF queries which mix RDFized GML with other RDF vocabs.

cheers,

Dan
