[georss] raster images and relationshiptag

[Josh@oklieb]

Interesting idea. Could you provide an example of a feed using this?  
People are clearly using RSS to reference a variety of media  
resources (e.g. podcasts) and it would be important to support  
interoperable ways of clearly associating a location to the  
referenced resource so that a client can throw them on a map with  
both an interpretable style and the right links.

BTW, the tag in the georss schema is named "relationshipTag"...

Cheers,

Josh Lieberman
