Re: data model and example

It would be good to add a term="open" or similar to that <time>
otherwise there's no real meaning to it.  Also, because <time> in the
UML Data Model diagram is defined as POISimpleType it can then also
support start/end...which seems a bit circular 8/  Maybe <time> should
just be a POIStructuredNameType.

We don't seem to have any mechanism for people to add arbitrary tags
like the SupplierID=3.  I think not allowing this is a real limitation.

Does <address> only support vcard?  
If not then we should add a type to that.
NOTE: That vcard also has some invalid chars after it (US).

And are we supporting non-URI(URL/IRI/IRL) id's on things like <poi>?  
Then are we just using href to refer to permalinks?

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.
