Recently I've started receiving inconsistent results from the RSS to GeoRSS service. Previously results were being correctly geocoded to cities (specifically Lima, Peru's capital). Now I'm occasionally seeing the same request return geocoded results to the centroid of Peru rather than individual cities. It appears to be random as the same request will occasionally work correctly. I'm using the following request (username parameter omitted)
Unencoded

Encoded

The results being returned from the Google news feed appear to be consistent so the problem appears to be on the GeoNames end. Any Ideas?
