GML subset for point "gml Point", line "gml LineString", polygon "gml Polygon", and box "gml Envelope". In Atom feeds, location shall be specified using Atom 1.0's official extension mechanism in combination with the GeoRSS GML Profile 1.0 whereby a "georss where" element is added as a child of the <entry> element.

OpenGIS Geography Markup Language (GML) Implementation Specification version 3.1.1. (03-105r1:2004)

Guidance

: Geography Markup Language (GML) allows to specify a coordinate reference system (CRS) other than WGS84 decimal degrees (lat/long). If there is a need to express geography in a CRS other than WGS84, it is recommended to specify the geographic object multiple times, one in WGS84 and the others in your other desired CRSs.
