[mapguide-internals] Google SoC Updates

[Robert Bray]

I personally don't think of aggregation as a provider, but it needs to 
use a provider to store the data. I could see it either at the service 
level or web application level. I would not do it purely client-side 
(e.g. open layers style), because I might want to use the points I 
gather to do some geospatial analysis...

You have to be able to parse RSS 1 & 2, Atom, and three forms of geometry: W3C, Simple, and also the GeoRSS GML profile, which also implies projection support.  None of the supported geometry is especially complex by MapGuide standards, but there is some overhead in all of the potential combinations.
