Nope.

How did that creep in there? Why is there an xmlns:gml in http:// 
georss.org/simple.html if it's not used in Simple?

Humph. I see it's really used in http://georss.org/atom.html

That's pretty obvious, since I'm discovering stuff as everyone else  
is...

I can see why we're all confused.

My vote:

Get rid of GML in http://georss.org/simple.html and http://georss.org/ 
atom.html

But I think the genie is out of the bottle. Maybe KML will save us  
all...
