[georss] Multiple GeoRSS representations in one feed?

[Jason Birch]

Hi,

I'm looking at creating some GeoRSS feeds.  The nice thing about this is 
that I don't have to create both a GeoRSS feed and a non-spatial feed. 
One Atom feed will do.  However, I'm seeing a bit of a problem.

It looks like many clients are only supporting simple rather than GML, 
and I don't want to exclude the people using these clients.  After all, 
it is a legal GeoRSS format.  However, most of the data that I'm working 
with is either linear or area-based (parcels, trails, roads, etc) so 
there is value in sending complex shapes instead of midpoint or centroid 
pushpins.

Is there any way that I can provide both a simple point and the full GML 
line/polygon for an item, and count on the client to not render both? 
Is it even legal GeoRSS to do this?

I've read this thread, and it's not looking hopeful for me:

It looks like if I want to support the largest possible user base I'll 
need to put up two feeds...

Please tell me I'm wrong :)

Thanks,
Jason
