[GeoJSON] To GML, or not to GML, that is the question

We've had some skirting round this issue, but I think that before we get
too much further (with GeoJSON Features at least) we need to have a
consensus on what we are trying to achieve.

The options that I see are:

1. Encode GML in JSON, with a reasonably faithful translation between
XML and JSON.

or

2. Encode OGC Simple Features in JSON, learning from, but not
translating, GML.

I'm in favour of 2.

Any other opinions, or options?
