One question that I've never been able to quite clarify:

 Can GML express multiple instances of geometry?

I would like to express a city building and have multiple instances of that
building at different orientations and positions.

A document describing my imaginary city should preserve high level
abstractions: that the building in it are multiply instanced - rather than
"flattening" out to a series of polygons and vertexes in duplicate.  I want
a succinct transport that models my own human understanding.

It appears that this must be possible insofar as that GML itself appears to
be a kind of framework notation within which one defines specialized
profiles.  CityGML for example may have this capability?

It's not entirely clear.

Gregor,

The closest thing to the OGC's WHATWG would be the GeoRSS, GeoJSON, and
Geo-Web-REST lists.
