[georss] GeoRSS and time

[Raj Singh]

I've noticed another limitation in time handling (at least for Atom). In my
Cambridge events feed, I want to specify the time the event will happen, not
the time I'm publishing the item. So I'm specifying a time in the future in
the <entry>'s <updated> element, which feedvalidator tells me is naughty.
