Re: POI data model examples serialised as JSON, XML, HTML5 & KML

Hey Alex,

This would definitely work as native kml synonyms for pois:start
(TimeSpan begin) and pois:end (TimeSpan end).  

Any ideas for created/updated?  KML has <Create> and <Update> but I
think these have a very different meaning 8/


> KML has key value pairs through the ExtendedData element:

Yep...but that's definitely not the same as adding custom attributes
within existing elements.  So using namespaced elements is about the
same verbosity level.  They would be a good alternative to namespacing
in general for kml though.

BTW: I've updated the kml in my draft example02 to remove the atom
namespace usage and to just rely on the kml native "name" element as a
synonym for pois:label.  I think kml was the only example that really
was a bit of a mishmash and this is a bit more tidy now 8)
