[worldKit-dev] Location dot without rss.xml

[Bruce Thomas]

Maybe...Each map page has separate folder with its own image, config.xml,
and rss.xml, each with the single point for each map. It would require
pre-processing to generate all the folders and files, and might be suitable
for read-only media, since the files would be static, right?
