Brian,

Admittedly, I tend to see everything through an Atom lens these days, 
but your time and space elements seem more like content than metadata. 
Atom has a content element into which you can put just about anything, 
making extension very easy. There may not be any need to change the 
GeoRSS spec at all.

Cheers,
Sean
