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 polygon syntax to:
<Polygon>
<exterior>
<LinearRing>42.360890561289295 -71.09139204025269
42.361176 -71.09018 42.36272976137689 -71.09049081802368 ...
</LinearRing>
</exterior>
