Eliot Christian commented on EMERGENCY-14:
------------------------------------------
It seems to me that GML is very complex and overkill for the needs of CAP.
Perhaps in CAP 2.0 consideration should be given to adopting GeoRSS-Simple ( http://www.georss.org/simple ). This provides point, line, polygon, box, and circle.
Looking at the GeoRSS-Simple example, though, we may need a provision that says beyond a small set of subelements any other subelement tag or value that is not understood (e.g., "floor 2") can be safely ignored.
I also note that GeoRSS-Simple has elevation in meters. Perhaps this could help to address a long standing complaint that CAP uses feet for ceiling and altitude rather than meters?
