We had unusual load on the servers and was wondering if someone was trying to scrape location data from flickr. Which would seem odd as we have geonames.org. Anyway, it wasn’t that so that are back on now.

Barry: I think it’s probably better for Google to fix that at their end, I’m sure a quick prod will get that sorted. If we were going to drop down to one standard it’s probably be the W3C version rather than the GeoRSS one.

IMHO it should only be outputting GeoRSS simple – but I understand in reality need to cope with the widest possible number of readers.

Location stuff in flickr.photo.getInfo isn’t working right now with the URL you gave. Was it turned off?
