[georss] Multiple geometries in simple?

[chris goad]

I think my last email bounced (I failed to use my subscribed email address 
in posting).

The multiple geometries arose in  my recent effort to put together OWL for 
GeoRSS. My
early draft is at http://mapbureau.com/neogeo/neogeo.xml , where, as you'll 
see,
I'm going with the recent consensus: one geometry per item.
