Hi,

Since geoRSS GML is based on GML 3, it would be much better to use the
posList rather than the deprecated "gml:coordinates" element. I assume this
is an error in the specification.

says:

"A line consists of a <LineString> element with a child <coordList> 
element. Within <coordList> the coordinates of the points on the line 
are entered as pairs of latitude and longitude values, separated by 
spaces. There must be at least two pairs. No two pairs may be separated 
by more than 179 degrees in either latitude or longitude."

the example has posList though. i suspect the text should read

.. with a child <posList> element. Within <posList> the coordinates ..
