[georss] Multiple geometries in simple?

[Raj Singh]

I think we left this vague on purpose to see if the need for  
multiples ever arose.
What's your need for them? The use case I can think of is describing  
a place with a point and a polygon (or line), because although you  
want to use the more accurate polygon or line, you know that many  
GeoRSS clients will only be able to render points, so you want to  
include that too.

In general I agree with Mikel and Ron, that GeoRSS Simple was  
designed for a single geometry, and you should probably play in the  
GeoRSS GML space if you're doing something more complex.
