that would involve registering that type with IANA, and also serving it 
up with the correct mime type. given that georss is really just an 
extension of rss, i don't think it should have it's own mime type, just 
as media rss is served as application/rss+xml.

it is up to your feed-consuming app to deal with the extensions present, 
and do something useful for the ones it supports.
