[georss] Multiple geometries in simple?

[Carl Reed OGC Account]

FYI -

The OGC members are working both an interoperability experiment and 
candidate specifications for linking textual content, such as in a database, 
with geospatial content/maps. Check out 
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=5859 . This document is 
somewhat dated and the interoperability experiment is focused on insuring 
operational interoperability using this service interface. The draft 
standard has already been implemented in several operational spatial data 
infrastructures.
