Re: Position Heading Questions?

Minor revision:

The |orientation| attribute denotes the direction of the hosting device 
is facing (as defined by the hosting device) and is specified in degrees 
counting clockwise relative to the true north (degrees to the east of 
north). If the implementation cannot provide orientation information, 
the value of this attribute must be null.
