Thinking about it a bit more, I guess it works fine. It just feels  
really strange using <atom:link> in RSS2 or RSS1.

That's loading a lot of semantics into rel -- not only the fact that  
it's a location, but also the type of geometry. And we'll also need to  
signal whether the link is to simple georss or GML. But if people  
really feel they need to know geometry type before dereferencing, fine  
with me.
