Re: Early comparison of Nokia/BONDI APIs

Hi Dom, et al,

Just an FYI on the Geolocation address format referenced here:

There have been lots of discussions on the civic address format, and I  
expect more to come as work on the 'v2' Geolocation API ramps up.

So far we've discussed:

	the format of the fields themselves [1]
	the field name of the 'civic address' [2]
	'civic address' use cases [3]
	comparing addresses [4]
	defining transformations between address formats [5]

I think it would be a laudable goal for the device APIs and the  
Geolocation API to have interoperability in our address formats.
