Good work!

Yes, I will give it a try.  I have just added two pieces to the page, to 
show my dedication :-)

It also made me think: Is this really about an extension of LOCN? I 
would think it is more about finding best practices for expressing 
metadata that are specific to spatial datasets. Perhaps it is possible 
to do that without any extension of the LOCN vocabulary. And perhaps it 
is not, like the case of specification of the CRS. But if the LOCN 
vocabulary were to be extended with something to denote a CRS, would 
that extension need to be only for metadata?

About the necessity of thinking about how to handle temporal aspects of 
a data set: I will make a new thread about that subject in this list.

Frans
