[georss] "When" information in georss

[Andrew Turner]

b/c the current Time specification doesn't actually specify including
the time element in the response. This is similar to the Geo that uses
GeoRSS, and not OpenSearch-Geo, to specify the geographic search
parameters.

I was hoping for a more generic definition of time (not even
necessarily bound to geo* - so not GML), but RSS or Atom don't support
that it appears (which is actually kind of surprising?
