[georss] Styling GeoRss points

[Stefan F. Keller]

Charlie,

Just to understand you: You want to encode icon names as content not as a
style (name)? In this case, why not take the usual multivalued
<category>-element of RSS/Atom or the (still single-valued) georss-attribute
featuretype? (there was a thread in march about using categories)
