Glenn,

Glenn,

You might be interested in a Google group where we talk about 
RSS/Atom/REST/GIS.  See http://groups.google.com/group/geo-web-rest

I'll also be talking about Atom/GIS at Foss4G.

Anyway, the answer is yes.  Here is one example:

http://www.mapbuzz.com/map_feature/606

We have our own server software that does it, as opposed to a PostGIS 
built-in function. But its not hard to do.

Thanks,

Charlie
