Hi
I would like to propose a new country code element in GeoRSS. It would
help feed producers to add geo information without having to specify
exact lat/lng. Often a feed entry has a strong relationship to a country
(or more than one country) without having an exact geographical
position. With a country code element it would be possible to add geo
information without having to specify lat/lng. (news, travel, job, ....)
Feed consumers at the other hand could use the country code to
filter/group/categorize/sort feed entries.
Example :
<georss:where>
<georss:countryCode>IT</georss:countryCode>
</georss:where>
or
<georss:where>
<georss:countryCode>CA</georss:countryCode>
<georss:point>45.256 -71.92</georss:point>
</georss:where>
Any comments are welcome.
Regards,
Marc
