Testing conformance then becomes a problem of O(numgeoms) rather than
O(2).

The biggest problem for GeoRSS adoption was lack of validation and clear
specification. If you don't want to support GeoJSON simple, don't: but 
just don't claim you're conformant to GeoJSON. Explain what you actually
are.
