[georss] A Proposal - KML & GeoRSS

I guess I like posting long standards ideas on Fridays.

I put up a blog-post on my thoughts on coordinating efforts and
interoperability of GeoRSS and KML and HTML (and others). Using each
for their best purpose.

It boils down to:

 HTML : RSS :: KML : GeoRSS

The premise then being, you can use HTML for general browser viewing
of geospatial content (perhaps using microformat or other), and link
to KML for rich geospatial visualization, and use GeoRSS for
syndication of updates of this spatial content (that links back to the
KML and HTML).

Thoughts?
Andrew
