[georss] link in header for georss

[Josh@oklieb]

Interesting. Wondered how those little icons got up there... This  
does not seem to be exactly standardized, though. Here is a line from  
the header of a BBC page:

<link href="http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/ 
entertainment/rss.xml" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"  
title="BBC NEWS | Entertainment" />

Apparently Firefox doesn't focus exclusively on the mime type, but it  
might be helpful to suggest describing a georss feed as mime type  
"application/georss+xml" to guide some imagined georss plugin looking  
for news to visualize.
