You were using Integer to represent e.g., Integer implements SpatialData, like we have been talking, e.g., the data associated with a QTreeNode, or something like it. > Or instead 'integer': how is GeoRSSData is used? I simply don't understand > this at the moment. The GeoRSSData is like assuming that each QuadTreeNode represents a point and an associated datum, which in the case of our current implementation is a URL to an article or some "thing". This should be more generalized. > E.g. how would I get the rss data and where is it stored? You would interrogate the QuadTree, where the data is stored. Imagine a load interface, which is what we have now, to load up our generic Quad Tree, a generic spatial data structure. > Or is 'filename' the only part of this rss data?

Great, could you file a JIRA issue, and if you have time, create a patch? I'd be happy to apply it...
