[georss] WAS: GeoRSS Validation Service? RETURNING TO: multiplelocations and time

[Raj Singh]

Parsing is one thing. Doing something smart with it is another. For  
example, if you get a GeoRSS GML geometry in, for example, a state  
plane coordinate system, can you either:
a. reproject it into lat/long to show on a Google/Yahoo/MS map or
b. reproject your map into the state plane system

That's just one example of the more general point that if you support  
GeoRSS GML, you should be able to manipulate coordinate reference  
systems in your application.
