[georss] proposal for country code in GeoRSS

[Marc]

Hi Carl

Thanks for the link. I was hoping someone would come up with information 
of this kind.
I don't think we should reinvent the wheel and this draft makes sense to 
me. Do you think it would be possible to include it in GeoRSS?

It would be really useful if GeoRSS offered a standard way of encoding 
addresses. Otherwise every feed producer will come up with proprietary 
address encoding in RSS. Yahoo, Google and others are already using 
their own way of encoding addresses in RSS.

Cheers,

Marc
