[georss] elevation question

The schema updated for w3c geo 2007 makes georss:elev an independent  
attribute at the same level as georss:where, e.g.

> <georss:where>
>   <gml:point>
>     <gml:pos>blah blah</gml:pos>
>   </gml:point>
> </georss:where>
>  <georss:elev>313</georss:elev>

Same in Georss Simple:

<georss:point>42.213 -133.123</georss:point>
<georss:elev>313</georss:elev>

The schema for both of these is described at http://www.georss.org/xml/1.1/overview 
  . The site needs some more updates, etc.

Cheers,

Josh
