[georss] Intended lat/long order

Hi list,

This might sound stupid, but I was wondering what the lat/long order (eg. 
in a point geometry) is intended to be?

So if I am located at latitude 37.4 and longitude -122.1 which of the 
following points are valid GeoRSS representations?

1. lat/long order:
<gml:Point>
        <gml:pos>37.4 -122.1</gml:pos>
</gml:Point>

2. long/lat order:
<gml:Point>
        <gml:pos>-122.1 37.4</gml:pos>
</gml:Point>

The reason I am asking is that I have to pass the position string into a 
WKT StringReader which wants the input to be in x/y (=long/lat) format.

Thanks,
Rico
