Mapping Hacks

Our friend Mikel Maron has hacked up code to parse GeoRSS in Google Maps.
See his notes on an extension.

This can be quite useful for quickly building maps,
like Node.London,
and promotes an interoperable geospatial web based on a common data format.

With GeoRSS standardization [http://georss.org] in the works,
its important to get the big map players on board to support.
* How bout it Google — are you ready to step up and promote
GeoRSS directly in your API? *

There is hope. Google just joined the OGC, so they have at least some
mind for standards.
