[georss] Multiple GeoRSS representations in one feed?

[Pat Cappelaere]

Andrew,

Hummmm.  I really do not like the idea of separate URLs for a few tags
although it would make sense if this is a big GML document.

This is not simple to include three different implementations to be
cross-browser independent!

BTW, we have used separate items for a similar case and put them on separate
layers for our users (so they can access those entries individually, on/off
and legend.  One layer is also fine :)

Pat.
