Proposal to work on Geolocation

Hi,

Google would like to volunteer some resources to work on a specification 
to provide a Geolocation API for the Web platform. Does anyone on the 
working group think we should not work on this? If not, please consider 
this a formal proposal from us to adopt a Geolocation API as a work item. 
Since we need broad working group agreement to add a work item, I propose 
that we set a deadline of June 4th for dissent, though as Chaals always 
says, positive assent would be preferred. :-) Chaals, could you do the 
honours of making this formal? Thanks!

Cheers,
