What?! I've been awake for hours!

featuretypetag and relationshiptag (and elev, floor, radius) are  
attributes of georss:where (or georss:point, etc). We / I need to  
actually post the XML schema / GML profile so that it's clear and put  
back the examples.

These attributes are not keywords but are intended to sharpen the  
meaning of georss:where, for example, so I'm not in favor of allowing  
multiple values. There are other elements in RSS / Atom for  
descriptive material.
