This doesn't address that you speak of 5 locations in your single  
entry on your Voyage. Brandon's MetaCarta GeoRSS parser is a  
particularly exemplary case of needing a way to reference items  
within the content. His demo geoparser includes about 15 locations  
for every news item, and it's not clear what bits refer to what part  
of the article.

Sounds good, but for me it would probably have to wait until after  
the New Year.
