Hi, I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback. It is clear that the consensus is to drop the "permission expiry" sentence, so I dropped it. I have therefore updated the spec with the following non-normative section: //------------------------------------------------------- Additional implementation consideration This section is non-normative Further to the requirements listed in the previous section, implementors of the Geolocation API are also advised to consider the following aspects that may negatively affect the privacy of their users: in certain cases, users may inadvertently grant permission to the User Agent to disclose their location to Web sites. In other cases, the content hosted at a certain URL changes in such a way that the previously granted location permissions no longer apply as far as a user is concerned. Or the users might simply change their mind. Predicting or preventing these situations is inherently difficult. Mitigation and in-depth defensive measures are an implementation responsibility and not prescribed by this specification. However, in designing these measures, implementers are advised to enable user awareness of location sharing, and to provide easy access to interfaces that enable revocation of permissions. //------------------------------------------------------- Here are the diffs: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/geo/api/spec-source.html.diff?r1=1.58&r2=1.59&f=h http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/geo/api/spec-source-v2.html.diff?r1=1.15&r2=1.16&f=h I would now like to kindly ask Angel, Lars Erik and Matt to check if we are ready to publish the latest Editor's Draft. Many thanks, Andrei
