But CRS 4326 *doesn't* Use 6423, it uses 6422, which is the 2d version
of 6423.

Yes, yes. I'm not concerned with that -- that's a one time learning hit
that I just had to go through, for the specific layout of this data. But
I'm still confused. Either I'm not understanding something, or we're
using a different CRS than I thought we were.

I *think* GeoRSS is 2D, and if it's 2D, then it's CS 6422, which is 2D,
and EPSG:4326 as a CRS, which is also 2D. Is this your understanding?
