It's not. The code was a demo, I never cared to maintain it, and it
didn't actually work. It was in a branch at one point, but starting from
that code at this point gains you very little (since it was a fork of
the older GeoRSS layer) and there was no serious thought put into the
implementation.

APP is a 'protocol' -- Protocols shouldn't be implemented by formats.
Protocols are implemented by layers, building on top of (in this case)
the GeoRSS format. 

So, I would recommend that if you want to pursue APP, you should do it
seperately from that code.
