[georss] GeoRSS Simple Features Proposal

[Joshua Lieberman]

As simple as GML-SF is, my feeling is that it is still too complicated  
for core GeoRSS. My sense from the use cases I have seen so far is  
that use of multi-geometries, inside rings, and other subtlies of  
GML / ISO geometry generally require the client / user to understand  
more about the associated feature type in order to work with them, as  
well as utilize more complex topology processing and indexing. Just  
inserting them into georss:where doesn't do a lot for interoperability  
as far as I can see.

There is no restriction of course on putting a GML feature into  
something like an Atom entry, either in the <Content> tag or just  
intercalated, as an alternative or addition to a simpler GeorssGML  
geometry. The CGDI Pilot also experimented with a  
georss:FeatureofInterest element (analogous to O&M) to include a full  
(GML-SF0) feature in an Atom entry, in addition to the georss:where  
element.
