Re: data model and example

Here's one of your POIs, and my POIWG interpretation. 
Will post on Wiki soon.
Matt, did you figure out how we can do XML syntax highlighting on the wiki?

It would be better in the long run for the world to focus on a single one for interoperability. And what better place to have the canonical one than the W3C POI spec? And for practical reasons, if you're generating POIs, writing <Point><posList> instead of geo:uri is the least of your problems! And as a consumer of POI data (at least the XML format), it's nice to always know to find the coordinates in the <posList> element.
