And even if they did, it's valid XML so what's the problem?

* plugging into other standard GIS tools
(here's a list of georss ones:

q=f&aqi=g1&oq=&fp=b36c7832dbb01be6
)
* understanding that a <point is not a <solr:point (which in your examples
you're using a ',' to separate them while e.g., georss suggests a ' ') but a
georss:point. From this you can:
- look up the field definition
- generate default values
- understand the unit restrictions
There is a wealth of work in XML schema so I'm not sure I have to justify
its use.

I'm happy to provide this, for validation, but let's start small, then grow
big. SOLR-1586 does _not_ break anything.
Cheers,
