A Uniform Resource Identifier for Geographic Locations ('geo' URI)

Hi,

I know there has been a lot of mention of WGS-84[1] in the public-poiwg
discussions but I couldn't seem to find[2][3] any mention of or
reference to rfc5870 - A Uniform Resource Identifier for Geographic
Locations ('geo' URI)[4].

This seems like a significant thing to be overlooked and something it
seems like we should be utilising and benefiting from...if indeed it
does look like becoming a usable standard (obviously only a
draft/proposed standard at the moment).

So...what do people think of rfc5870?

Christine, this is definitely something we should add to the
ARStandards.org "existing standards" page under the "Location Standards"
section.
