[georss] OpenSearch Geo - Feedback

[Andrew Turner]

Greetings - as some of you may know - from WhereCamp - we rapidly put
together a draft specification of OpenSearch-Geo. We did it with
DeWitt Clinton - the original mastermind behind OpenSearch, and had
general consensus in the group.

I've posted the draft here - with some modifications:
http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/Extensions/Geo/1.0/Draft_1

I would definitely like any more feedback or thoughts people could
offer on the spec. The guiding principle behind the spec was to make
it work with existing services where possible (hence the bbox w,s,e,n
order) and also make it parallel to GeoRSS and GeoJSON.

This makes it easier for all the specs to try and move forward
together in the future (we can argue concepts/terminology once and
have it apply to all) as well as educating other developers and users
by being able to instruct once and have common concepts carry over to
the different "formats".

I figured Friday afternoon - you're all looking for some interesting
reading and the weekend to play with it. :)

Thanks
Andrew
