Hello,

Has this working already evaluated submitting a RFC for a standard HTTP
header for geolocation information, as suggested in its charter?

There was a draft some years ago (
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-daviel-http-geo-header-05), when handful
things like the geo: scheme (http://geouri.org/) hadn't been developed yet.

With location-based applications being more common by the hour, I think this
header is urgent to minimize the number of incompatible implementations in
the wild.

Thanks,

Fernando
