[georss] GeoRSS Location References

[Joshua Lieberman]

Raj,

A link to a GML simple feature (or any other feature) makes sense as  
an alternative or authoritative reference, but putting the link inside  
georss:where seems a bad idea for both definition and processing. A  
feed processor can no longer assume that there is a very simple  
geometry inside the element to run with, plus it is ambiguous what the  
difference is between links inside and outside. It would be a mess in  
RDF, where it would be a property in one context and an object in the  
other. I think it would be best to define usage of a link in the  
normal place in the entry / item and restrict georss:where contents to  
their present georss geometry (profile in draft).
