[OSGeo-Standards] [RESTful-Policy.SWG] Encodings and REST

Folks,
I neither followed the discussion closely not the decision process of
the SWG. Can somebody summarize the rationale of the Geoservices REST
API group for not implementing GeoJSON but going down another route?

Somehow it seems like OGC is becoming just yet another party in the
general noise of format proliferation. We did better in other areas,
how come we cannot stay on top of this one?

This is pretty clear language, how are we going to address it?

Apparently this comment by Volker Mische (who we know as supportive to
the OGC) is receiving a lot of positive support in the broader
geospatial IT crowd. Ignoring is not a solution.

Cheers,
Arnulf
