[georss] Multipart geometry and location again

Now that I've got my head around georss:where and how it covers up some
of the complexity of GML, I'm wondering if locations using multipart
geometries couldn't be simplified in a similar way using a
georss:multiwhere (for lack of a better name) element. If the new
element were both a geometry property and an array of geometries, one
could express a multipoint location like this:

  <georss:multiwhere>
    <gml:Point .../>
    <gml:Point .../>
    ...
  </georss:multiwhere>

which is not unlike (but more concise than) KML's relatively simple
MultiGeometry element.
