Sorry for not posting about this to the list earlier, but I wrote up
several proposal extensions to GeoRSS to handle: Multiple Locations
for a single 'Story', References to externally geometries, and
Excerpts.

My blog post outlining the ideas, and why the current proposal is
framed as such is in this post:
http://highearthorbit.com/georss-multiple-locations/

Sean Gillies has already countered with some good thoughts & suggestions here:
http://zcologia.com/news/711/multiple-locations-in-georss/

I also created a Proposals page on GeoRSS.org site with links to the proposals:
http://georss.org/proposals

I know these ideas have been discussed in the past, but then kind of
petered out. But I think there is immediate interest in nominally
agreeing to and implementing a solution in the very near term. In
fact, I would like to suggest that we have something ready for
Where2.0.

Also understand that this proposal is for "Simple" - I know there are
GML people that will point to the semantics of the proposal and wag
their fingers. I suggest to them to draft a tasty Semantic/GML
parallel version.

Thanks!
Andrew
