I guess you are using GGeoXml then (which isn't the same as the third-
party GeoXml, confusing huh)

Try -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoRSS
which leads to
http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2007/03/kml-and-georss-support-added-to-google.html
which is old, but hints that there are limitations - one common one is
the size of the KML/GeoRSS to parsed is limited.
This -
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/mapsSupport.html
spells out KML limitations for GGeoXml, it would be reasonable to
guess that the same parser has similar limitations for GeoRSS
