Related notes:

in discussion on June 2, we decided to drop namespaces and reference XML schema adopted from other places in the specification narrative -- not through formal XML schema methods. This changes the line syntax to:
<LineString>
<posList>
42.360890561289295 -71.09139204025269 42.361176 -71.09018 42.36272976137689 -71.09049081802368 ...
</posList>
</LineString>
