http://georss.org/gml
"Within <coords> the latitude and longitude values
are separated by a space." //
"Within <coordList> the coordinates of the points on the
line are entered as pairs of
latitude and longitude values, separated by spaces."
http://georss.org/simple
"A point contains a single latitude-longitude pair, separated by
whitespace."
"A line contains a space seperated list of latitude-longitude pairs,
with each pair separated by whitespace. There must be at least two
pairs.
"A polygon contains a space seperated list of latitude-longitude pairs,
with each pair separated by whitespace. There must be at least four
pairs, with the last being identical to the first (so a polygon has a
minimum of three actual points)."
How should the wording change, in your opinion?
