We should define some sort of "profile" to specify which GML elements/attributes are valid with ATOM Geo-types
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-595
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-595
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData ATOM Format 
    Affects Versions: V4.0_CS02
            Reporter: Evan Ireland
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: V4.0_OS


In regard to OData's use of GML for Geo-types with ATOM format, it is not specified if clients/servers can or should:

(1) Use gml:pos (in particular for a set of points, an array of gml:pos as opposed to using a single gml:posList)?

(2) Use gml:posList?

(3) Use gml:coordinates (which is a deprecated GML element)?

Also, there is no mention in OData of whether the GML srcDimension attribute should or must be indicated. When we are parsing a gml:posList, without knowing the dimension, it is next to impossible (without having a full database of SRID's to refer to) to separate the points, unless we assume only 2D systems.
