[Geojson] [Geowanking] [georss] simple 3D geocode for AR

[Mike Liebhold]

Sorry Chris, my previous posts tonight  were in response to Ron Lake's 
and others posts about relative coordinate systems.

I re-read your comments and see your suggestion of a local coordinate 
system is  kinda what I was seeking. ( thoughts about URI semantics are 
a digression)
