[db-wg] proposal: new attribute 'geofeed:'

One more question after coffee:

What happens when someone (or someone's automated system) pushes an
object with a "remarks: Geofeed" again? Do an automatic conversion on
update? How many scripts will that break (or worse: how many scripts
will get stuck in a loop because the object in the database isn't what
they believe it should be, so they update it again and again and …)

So maybe not do an automatic update after all, and maybe update the web
based editor with a helpful "This looks like a Geofeed remark, click
here to change it to a geofeed attribute" button 🙂

Cheers!
Sander
