[georss] Multiple GeoRSS representations in one feed?

As Ron said, holes in polygons aren't supported in simple, but are  
possible in GeoRSS GML. You'll still have the chicken and egg issue  
that you're not likely to find many clients (that aren't "real"  
mapping systems) that will correctly render them. That, and  
aggregates, begin to stretch the limits of GeoRSS. If those  
sophisticated geometries are key to what you're doing, you may be in  
the market for a heavier standard, like GML Simple Features Profile,  
listed on this page <http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/gml>.
