Good way to put it. :)

I don't imagine everyone will use it. However, there is a big push in
the GIS (Geographic Info Systems) to use GeoRSS. There currently are
*no* GeoRSS capable readers/aggregators. So, this would be a big way
to get lots of users/visibility, plus just being a 'neat' factor.

It's definitely a good example of a plugin. You/Katie can talk about
what kind of hooks to the API we would expose for a plugin. The
map.php actually just calls the rss.php, but it would be nice to
provide an "include fofredux_api" or something that provided things
like get_feeds(), get_items(), etc.
