There's no real need for the GeoURL stuff, just selection of proper
metatdata and terms and incorporation as a WordPress Plugin at first, and
then hopefully inclusion in the core once the kinks are worked out. Keeping
a list of sites and scraping the metadata would be trivial.

That being said, after reading the GeoURL site properly, it's all open
source anyway - so it should stay that way. Perhaps a site redesign though
