There certainly is a group of people on this mailing list who want an API 
and not a markup language. It may be that to optimally address the use 
cases and requirements of that group of people as well as the group of 
people who want a markup language, we will need two specs. I believe 
Andrei is volunteering to edit the spec that defines the API. If anyone 
wants to volunteer to write a spec to define a markup language, I think 
that would be great. A good place to put it would be:

   http://dev.w3.org/geo/ml/

Alternatively, we could reuse the geo Microformat as the markup language.
