I may have requested a feed for another, arbitrary time period, say
4-20-2007 > 5-15-2007

And relying on just the HTTP headers means that I then lose that
information if I store the file. So like GeoRSS feeds can have a
geometry that applies to the entire feed, it would be nice to use the
timespan to define a timespan for the entire feed. This is especially
important if I request a feed for that month, even if there are only
items for a week in the middle. The feed still is of the entire month.

Brian - can you put that example as a page on the GeoRSS CMS?

Thanks,
Andrew
