[georss] Can GeoRSS and KML converge on a geometry encoding?

[Joshua Lieberman]

GeoRSS GML already uses GML 3 geometries, just not all possibilities.  
KML, if/when it supports GML 3, is unlikely as well to support all  
possible GML 3 geometries. There are specific options in KML for 3D  
handling, though, which are not in GML at all. I was just suggesting  
earlier that providing a place for them to be expressed in GeoRSS  
might make it more straightforward for GE to handle feeds and KML  
together.

Sean, are you and Charlie going to make some sort of a conference  
line / IRC channel available tomorrow, or should we try to do  
something more inclusive at another time (e.g. next week).
