my guess is that by "connecting location with URIs" michael is talking
about associating semweb-style properties with URIs, rather than having
location being represented *as* a URI. i might be wrong, but if that's
the case, you might want to look at http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/
(which i think is a bit dated by now).
as a side note, we are currently in the process of setting up a "W3C
geolocation incubator group" which as the main goal would have to get a
wider view of how to handle geolocation on the web; basically anything
beyond the geolocation API currently being under development. the
incubator group does not yet exist, bu we hope to get in functional this
summer.
