[georss] Multiple geometries in simple?

[Ron Lake]

Hi,

In GML on which GeoRSSGML is based - you can have any number of
geometric properties or aspects to an entity or feature.  This notion of
feature is not really present in GeoRSS view of the world - so there it
is less clear.  The idea in GML is that an entity can have multiple
geometric characteristics and each of these is denoted by a property,
the property name denoting the role of the geometry in relation to the
feature

Hi Sean

You're asking about multiple geometries in a single item/entry?

It may not be that clear, but the model does limit it to a single
geometry per item.
That simplifies the requirements for any implementation.


Suppose there could be a guidance clause on this .. stating that it's
permissible
to have multiple geometries, but not required by any GeoRSS compatible
code,
which would only grok the first geometry listed per item and that it
can't be expected 
that multiple geometries would be understood.

Though that might only confuse things, and potentially break some
software already
out and deployed.

The model and spec don't seem to rule it out. Does anybody have an 
implementation with multiple geometries?
