Re: "geo:" URIs

But maybe if you are describing an object using 3D coordinate data, you probably have enough data in there that:
<gml:Point srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:6.6:4979" srsDimension="3">
doesn't seem too verbose compared to the tens or hundreds of 3D points you are listing?

In GML you can specify the CRS once in a parent element, so the 3D POI would look something like:
<location srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:6.6:4979" srsDimension="3">
  <point-n>y.yyyyyyy xx.xxxxxxx zz.z</point-n>
  <point-n>y.yyyyyyy xx.xxxxxxx zz.z</point-n>
  <point-n>y.yyyyyyy xx.xxxxxxx zz.z</point-n>
  <point-n>y.yyyyyyy xx.xxxxxxx zz.z</point-n>
  <point-n>y.yyyyyyy xx.xxxxxxx zz.z</point-n>
  ...
</location>
